Food For Heart

When we look at ourselves we only see the outer shell.  Our outer shell is important, but what about what makes the outer shell tick.  The most important muscle of the body is the heart.  Keep this muscle strong by eating healthy, and the rest of the body will reflect the rewards.

The following  foods are known to be very powerful in keeping the heart muscle ticking.   The best is they are all tasty and nutritious.

 

Strawberries  – I eat strawberries everyday.  Love it when super markets have BOGO.

Hey, I just realized that strawberries and the heart are the same color and if you look at them closely they have the same shape.  Coincidence? No such thing as coincidences in my book.

Rye Bread –   I stopped eating white and whole wheat bread.

I do happen to find Rye Bread a tasty treat.

Avocado – Oh, boy!  Love to slice a few pieces in my lunch box.  It is also my excuse to eat Guacamole dip.  Doesn’t the pit look like a heart, also.

Salmon – Now this is something I don’t eat often.  I would love to cook  it at least once a week, but I have a husband who really has objections to fish.  If only I could tell him it is chicken, but the smell will definitely give it away.

Nuts – Go nuts over nuts.  Eat them daily as a snack.  Your heart will get nutty over this.  Almonds, cashews, and walnuts are my favorite

 Dark chocolate – OK, had a hard time accepting dark chocolate, but now I make sure I eat the dark one…one piece a night good hearty  good.

Yes, you are what you eat.

Remember, what is reflected outside begins on the inside.

Eat hearty…
