It’s no secret that what you eat can play a big role in how healthy (or unhealthy) your heart is. Common breakfast staples like bacon and sausage are high in sodium and saturated fat, two things that are known to increase your risk for heart disease.

Instead of starting your day with a saturated fat-laden breakfast, fill up on heart-healthy unsaturated fat and whole grains with a slice of whole wheat toast topped with avocado.

The combination of nutrients, specifically fiber and monounsaturated fats, found in whole grains and avocados can help to lower cholesterol levels and decrease your risk of stroke and heart disease.
