Maintaining a healthy heart involves three key B vitamins

Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid help maintain a healthy heart by lowering homocysteine levels, which can reduce blood clot risk and the chance of heart attack or stroke. They come from a variety of foods—dark leafy greens, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dried beans and peas, lean meats, fish and low-fat dairy—with guidance to eat 3+ servings of whole grains daily, leafy greens a few times per week, and to consider a B12-containing multivitamin if vegetarian or over 50.
