Nothing is more important than your heart. If you think about it, our heart is what keeps us ALIVE and LIVING. Some say it’s what helps us LOVE.
Taking care of your heart — starting right now — is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself healthy.
I’m no stranger to the effects of heart disease. รย My father has suffered from two heart attacks in the past few years and struggles with the aftermath on a daily basis. รย It’s not pretty to see how he is now living, and I don’t want my family to ever see me in that same state.รย Because of my family history, I try to take extra care of my heart– not only for myself, but for husband and daughter as well.
February isรย American Heart Month. This is the time to look at your lifestyle and see if you’re doing everything you can to keep your heart healthy. We all know regularรย exerciseรย is essential to keeping a healthy heart .. but what other steps can we take to lower the chances of heart disease?รย
Believe it or not, a healthy heart can start with breakfast!
Quaker Oats has teamed up withรย Top Chef Season 5 Fan Favorite (and hottie!) Fabio Viviani to help inspire women to take care of their hearts during American Heart Month. In support of theรย American Heart Associationรขโฌโขs Go Red For Womenรย Movement,รย Quaker wants women to start their day with a hot breakfast full of whole grain goodness,รย which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
