Turmeric
Turmeric contains curcumin, a polyphenol responsible for its distinctive yellow color. Turmeric is also considered a good herb for maintaining cardiovascular health, as curcumin contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, anticancer agents, and anticoagulants. It protects against problems that the heart may be exposed to, such as inflammation or cardiotoxicity caused by adriamycin. It also helps reduce high levels of bad cholesterol in the blood, which, if elevated, can lead to hardening of the arteries of the heart and blood vessels, resulting in a heart attack.
