Now, you’d ask what does it mean to eat whole grains? Well, it means have wheat, brown bread, brown rice, pulses and beans in your diet.

Studies reveal that red wine consists of a powerful antioxidant, resveratrol, which helps the smooth functioning of your heart. So, now you’ve gotta reason to party, right? Well, that does not mean you guzzle down innumerable glasses of the beverage. Instead, have it in moderation; say 4 to 6 ounces of red wine a day.
6. Tomatoes
