Happy Valentine's Day! May you heart be full of love. Here are some interesting "heart facts" that I recently discovered.....* The heart beats about 100,000 times a day
* A child's heart is about the size of a clenched fist; a adult heart the size of two fists
* The heart weighs less than a pound
* Women hearts beat faster than men
Do you take good care of your heart? Did you know that foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids like Salmon and Tuna reduce both inflammation and the risk of blood clots? Olive oil reduces your risk of heart disease by lowering your bad (LDL) cholesterol. Green leafy veggies contain vitamin E and folate, which helps keep your homocysteine levels low. Finally, tomatoes are packed with lycopene, which has been shown to reduce your heart disease risk.
Enjoy!
