February has long been considered the ‘month of hearts’ because of Valentine’s Day.
But what you might not know is that, since 1964 when President Johnson decided to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease, February is also officially National Heart Month.
When it comes to cardiovascular health, the bad news is that statistics show that 1 in 4 Americans will die from cardiovascular disease.
Which means that heart health should be a high priority for all of us.
However, the good news is that heart health is very much linked to lifestyle behaviors, i.e., it is something we may influence with our daily choices.
One of the BEST ways to promote cardiovascular health is by eating a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet rich in beans, green vegetables, whole grains, seeds, fruits, and berries.
So, in honor of National Heart Month, we have handpicked our Top 10 ‘bursting with heart health goodness’ recipes just for you.
Enjoy!
