Heart Healthy Snacks & Drinks for American Heart Month



In January, I celebrated my 44th birthday and I'm realizing more and more each day that it's time to get serious about my health. I drink water, walk occasionally and don't drink pop, but I know that there are other things I could be doing to be healthy.
