Weekly Meal Plan: Heart Healthy Food
Your heart is your most vital organ. It’s what keeps us going each and every day. Every pump is encouraging us to live life and be happy. We sometimes put it through emotional pain and break it into pieces and yet it keeps pumping just for us. Our hearts are our true friends, mourning when we mourn, jumping when we jump, worrying when we worry. Our heart is nothing but nice to us and then we often feed it a bunch of nonsense. There is no better time than this week to make a special effort to be kind to your heart by eating heart healthy food.
Try eating more fruits and veggies, choosing whole grains, limiting unhealthy fats, and eating low fat proteins.
