All About YOU: 3 Heart-Healthy Foods

Three things you should feed your heart every day.

Nuts -- eat at least a handful a day. Nuts are an excellent source of healthful fats and protein. In the Iowa Nurses Study and three other studies, an ounce a day cut the incidence of heart disease by 20 percent to 60 percent. The best nuts (those highest in omega-3 fatty acids) are walnuts, but all nuts are good for you.

It is generally not recommended to drink tea containing caffeine since it causes your body to be acidic. Just make sure the teas are herbal teas to promote good health.

TAKE FRESH BRUSSEL SPROUTS, CUT A "V" IN THE FLAT END, REMOVE THAT AND PULL THE LEAVES APART UNTIL THEY'RE ALL LOOSE. PUT OLIVE OIL INTO A SAUTE PAN....ADD A FEW CLOVES OF GARLIC, UNTIL GOLDEN....ADD THE LEAVES, ADD A 1/2 CUP OF WATER MIXED WITH CHICKEN BOULLION. LOWER HEAT AND LET STEAM UNTIL THE LIQUID IS GONE.....IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR CRUCIFEROUS GREENS IN.
