Keep Your Sweetheart Heart Healthy
If “love is never having to say you’re sorry,” true love must be “never letting your sweetheart consume unhealthy fats.” So says nutritionist Sue Canonico, R.D. who offers some great tips for February, American Heart Month.
“About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event,” notes Canonico. “Many of the heart attacks, the most common form of heart disease, will be among baby boomers, who dated when the movie ‘Love Story’ with its memorable line about love and being sorry was in the theaters. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid the heartbreak that comes with losing a loved one to coronary disease.
Some are just simple adjustments to daily recipes, such as substituting extra virgin olive oil for butter, margarine and less healthy cooking oils. Others are focusing on additional aspects of the Mediterranean Diet, such as eating fruits, vegetables and fish, and getting in some daily exercise.”
