From the WellnessCenter

February is American HeartMonth. Let us celebrate with “EatRed with Heart Health.”

It’s time to amend that “apple aday” aphorism. Tomatoes andcranberries keep the doctor away,too. New research shows thatincorporating these three red,round fruits into your daily dietcan reduce your risk of heartdisease by as much as 40 percent.A heart healthy diet is always thefirst step in treating highcholesterol or high bloodpressure. Fortunately, theantioxidant-rich fruits (apples,tomatoes, cranberries) are as tastyas they are healthy.

TOMATOES A new study byTufts University in Boston showedthat eating lycopene-rich foodssuch as tomatoes more than 5x aweek over an 11 year periodreduced coronary disease riskby 26%.

APPLES An apple a day canreduce LDL (bad cholesterol) byas much as 40%, according to anew small Ohio State Universitystudy. Be sure to munch on thefruit, rather than drink juice; thepeels house the most antioxidant.

CRANBERRIES Drinking three

cups of cranberry juice daily canraise HDL (good) cholesterollevels by 10% and reduce heartdisease by 40%, a study at theUniversity of Scranton inPennsylvania showed. Plus, thisjuice decreased diet-causedatherosclerosis (clogging of thearteries) by preventing plaquefrom forming. GO, GO, RED.
