With February upon us and St. Valentine’s Day only a week away, thoughts naturally turn to affairs of the heart. Appropriate then, that February is American Heart Month.
Sadly, heart disease is still the number one cause of death of men and women in the U.S. today. Yet, most heart disease is 100% preventable with simple changes in diet and lifestyle. Diet changes are critical in a healthy heart program. Fried foods, sugary foods, low fiber foods, red meats and highly preserved meats all contribute to clogged arteries, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart problems. In contrast, a low fat, high fiber, plant-based diet promotes a vital, healthy cardiovascular system for years to come.
