Nerissa’s NotesFebruary is American Heart
Month. Let us celebrate with “EatRed with Heart Health.”
It’s time to amend that “apple aday” aphorism. Tomatoes and
cranberries keep the doctor away,too. New research shows that
incorporating these 3 red, roundfruits into your daily diet can
reduce your risk of heart diseaseby as much as 40 percent. A hearthealthy diet is always the first step
in treating high cholesterol orhigh blood. Fortunately, the
antioxidant-rich fruits (apples,tomatoes, cranberries) are as tasty
as they are healthy.
TOMATOES A new study by TuftsUniversity in Boston showed thateating lycopene-rich foods such as
tomatoes more than 5x a weekover an 11 year period reducedcoronary disease risk by 26 %.
APPLES An apple a day can reduceLDL (bad cholesterol) by as muchas 40%, according to a new smallOhio State University study. Be
sure to munch on the fruit, ratherthan drink juice: the peels house
the most antioxidants.
CRANBERRIES Drinking 3 cups ofcranberry juice daily can raise
HDL (good) cholesterol levels by10% and reduce heart disease by40%, a study at the University of
Scranton in Pennsylvania showed.Plus, this juice decreased
diet-caused atherosclerosis(clogging of the arteries) by
preventing plaque from forming.GO, GO, RED!
