Change of Diet and Exercise are Good Steps for Heart Health

American Heart Month is observed each February to raise awareness of the importance of a healthy heart and to encourage habits that help reduce the risk of heart disease. Cardiologist and author of Heart Attack: Truth, Tragedy, Triumph, Dr. William Cooper, suggests staying active, eating healthy and watching weight is critically important. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. One person dies every 36 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease.

BUILD BETTER HEART HEALTH

Diet is the number one factor to build better heart heath, but diet and nutrition does not have to be hard. Healthy lifestyles lead to healthy hearts, and there is significant research that shows regularly eating peanuts and peanut butter can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Southern Peanut Growers know that peanuts and peanut butter are easy to include in any heart-healthy diet. Plus, peanuts have mostly unsaturated fats and offer heart-helping nutrients like fiber, Magnesium and Vitamin E, and the most protein of any nut. Try a twist on a traditional PB&J and replace the jelly with fresh fruit on whole-grain bread. Or add peanuts to salad or stir-fry to feel good about frequent consumption of this tasty and heart-healthy food. For more information, visit PeanutButterLovers.com.
