Go Red for Your Heart

Written by Irina Wardas on February 6th, 2009

At the beginning of February we always celebrate National Wear Red Day to promote prevention of heart disease in women.

Let us make healthier choices to beat heart disease. It can be prevented with the right lifestyle – food you eat, exercise you do, lifestyle you lead (reducing stress and totalredappleanxiety).

Let us celebrate Go Red for Women Day every day by adding red heart-healing foods to our meals.

Incorporate more beets into your diet to strengthen the heart, improve circulation, purify/detox the blood, lower blood pressure. Beets Salads Recipes

Eat more pomegranates and water melons, and drink more tomato juice to lower your blood pressure.

Eat half a red grapefruit before every meal or at least in the morning before breakfast to lower your cholesterol. Studies show that it helps to loose weight too. Broiled Grapefruit with Port Wine Recipe

Add raw red onions (cook with white onions) to all your salads, spreads, side dishes, etc. to cut bad cholesterol. Roasted Vegetables Recipe

Eat more red legumes, such as aduki beans, red lentils and kidney beans rich in both tryptophan (to reduce stress and fight seasonal depression) and heart-healing fiber to reduce your blood pressure, detox your colon and give you more energy. French Lentil Soup Recipe

Eat red (purple) cabbage to get rid of constipation which ultimately will lower your blood pressure. Red Cabbage Recipe

Eat more red salmon and red apples (any color) -foods rich in Magnesium- to reduce stress. Fish en Papillote Recipe

Let us be heart smart, shall we?

Breathe, smile and be happy.
