You should eat like a caveman if you want healthy heart!

A new study has found that a stone-age diet of berries, nuts, lean meat and fish helps reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Researchers at Karolinska Institute in Sweden put volunteers on a caveman diet while cutting out cereals, dairy products and refined sugar.

After just 21 days they dramatically reduced levels of a clotting agent in the blood linked to heart attacks and strokes.

In addition, they had lost 5 pounds in weight, their waistlines were slimmer, and their blood pressure was lower.

The results were published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
