Foods to eat to avoid heart disease?

I'm in my early 30's and am really starting to think more seriously about my future health. My mom's side of family is notorious for heart/overweight/cholesterol problems and I don't want to be like them whem I'm older. I already don't eat much red meat just because I don't care much for it, and I stay away from fried foods most of the time since they easily upset my stomach. What other foods should I avoid, or incorporate, into my diet on a regular basis that will protect my heart and arteries?

improve cardiovascular function now and prevent heart disease

   forget about staying away from meat and cholesterol,etc. PROCESSED foods are causing the majority of health problems today. the less chemicals that you put in your body on a daily basis the healthier you will be. the HDL:LDL ratio is more important than total cholesterol values. make sure to ingest plenty of healthy unsaturated fats which will improve the HDL:LDL ratio more favorably.

   if you don't like to eat fish *which I suggest you should eat more*

   at least get some Omega 3 fish oil pills from your local vitamin shop, its very good for the heart

   other than that sounds like you're eating pretty well just stay away from greasy stuff period

   Inflamation is a big factor in heart disease. Trans fats, vegetable oils and sugar. High insulin levels in your blood will clog your arteries. Stress is a big risk factor for heart disease. Never cook with vegetable oils they go rancid easily. Eat healthy fats like butter, lard, olive oil, tropical oils and cod liver oil. Cold press vegetable oils sparingly. Cholesterol and Saturated fats do not cause heart disease that is a myth. It's the oxidized fats and oxidized cholesterol the can damage your health for example powederd eggs or powdered milk which is added to 1% and 2% milk by the way. Hard meats has oxidized cholesterol like salami.
   Eat organic fruits and vegetables. Meat and dairy from grass fed animals not the factory farm animals who live in confinement and are given antibiotics and hormones.

   Read up on the benefits of garlic. You can take them in pills. vitamin C has an array of benefits. Vegetables and fruits are the way to go. Fried foods are great but they must be eaten sparingly. Walking will keep your diet in check – burning off calories sensibly. Look into garlic though, you will be pleasantly surprised.

   I would suggest whole wheat bread by sara lee to be specific. Some Cheerios ( not honey nut or anything like that, just plain ) Some Kraft Live-Active Cheese, Raisins ( Natural ) Granola Bars. Salad, Fruits, and some unsalted peanuts. Chicken ( not processed ) is always good for protein, Pasta is easy to digest and lightweight.

   Some Super Heart Healthy Foods are:
   Bluberries
   Salmon
   Soy Foods

   *I would say Start the morning with some Cereal & Milk:
   Honey Bunches Of Oats (Almond) is a great source of Healthy Heart!

   Regularly Exsercise. Jogging,Biking, Cardio, etc.
