Take Better Care of Your Heart

Here are a few tips!
-Eating better.
Our diets are all out of balance. We eat too much artery clogging red meat and unhealthy fats but not enough good fats, vegetables, fruits and fiber. We never think about a healthy glass of red wine with our meal but will guzzle down cheap booze at a party every chance we get.
-Getting Some Exercise.
Remember the old days, when you had to get up to change the channel on the television or answer the telephone? Now we don’t even get that. We sit in our lounge chairs with a remote in one hand and the cell phone in the other . Get up, get out. It doesn’t have to mean going to a gym and practically killing yourself, in fact, it should NOT mean that at first, anyway. Take a walk. Rescue a pooch from the pound or borrow the neighbors pug and go around the block a time or two.
-Add heart healthy plant sterols to your diet.
The recommended amount of plant sterols is .8 grams per day. While you can get this from a number of food sources, you may find it easier to get with MonaVie Pulse which contain .4 grams per 4 ounce serving. Two servings of the juice or two packets of the gel is equal to the heart healthy plant sterols that you need to help reduce your blood cholesterol levels.
Pulse also contains reservatrol, which is found in high concentrations in muscadine grapes (part of the benefit of a glass of red wine). This nutrient strengthens blood vessels, making them more elastic and less prone to damage. If you cannot or will not drink wine, this is an excellent substitute resource for you.
Lower your intake of fat and cholesterol, increase your exercise and drink Pulse.
