This is a very common question I hear from clients all the time and it is easy to see why. You can pick up the newspaper any day of the week and find all types of information about why we should eat more Kale because it is loaded with this vitamin, or we should be drinking more red wine as scientist have discovered it has anti oxidants that may reduce your risk of cancer, etc etc. You will also find at some point the exact opposite answer in another publication. Both scientifically proven with research results. So what do we do? No wonder we are confused. Putting aside all of this research, basic logic would tell you that if you increase your levels of vitamins, let's say with a multi vitamin capsule then this can only do good things for you. Right? Well it is not so easy as that, and in fact you could be doing more harm than good. I also find that people who rely so heavily on vitamins and supplements rarely eat good organic food & meats, and eat a poor variety of vegetables. They really are trying to use a synthetic capsule to make up for their poor nutrition choices. What I will show you in this article not only is that a poor strategy but also one that could cause mor harm than good!

If heart health is a concern for you, it's important that you are giving good consideration to what foods you put into your body each and every day.

What you eat will have a dramatic influence over your cholesterol levels as well as your risk factor for heart disease. Heart-health friendly diets should be rich in lean protein, healthy fats, especially the mono-unsaturated and omega varieties, along with plenty of fibre rich carbohydrates. Sugar and trans fats should be kept out of the picture at all times.

Combine recipes like this plus regular jog outside or on your treadmill and you can rest assured you're taking a large step forward as far as your risk factor is concerned. To help get the process started, we've come up with a great recipe that will utilize these key food ingredients, while also supporting a healthy body weight.
