Mr. and Mrs. care a lot about heart health. Why? Because we both have family histories of heart disease, and we each have a condition that could lead to heart problems (Mr. = high cholesterol, Mrs. = hypertension).
This year, since we've changed our lives in part to achieve healthy hearts, we're celebrating American Heart Month in a big way. It all starts today with National Wear Red Day. How easy it that? Wear red, make a donation, and you help the American Heart Association tackle the number-one killer of women.
We're also going to do the GoRed Heart Checkup, which involves getting your blood tested for cholesterol and sugar levels and answering some questions about you and your lifestyle. The results should help us assess our heart health and motivate us to continue our healthy lifestyle.
Finally, we'll highlight in this blog some of the things we're doing to help our hearts, including exercises and foods. For today, here's a list of Mr. and Mrs' favorite heart-healthy foods:
- Salmon
- Oatmeal
- Almonds
- Red wine
- Tuna
- Brown rice
- Soy milk
- Blueberries
- Broccoli
- Sweet potatoes
- Dark chocolate
- Tea
