Yes, yes, we know It’s “Go red” for heart health. But as our guest blogger Fran Davis points out, green smoothies do amazing things for your ticker, not to mention darn near every other part of your body. You can’t go wrong with one of these tasty smoothies. Try them and let us know what you think! And here’s a helpful health tip: Fran uses flax in her smoothies. Plant-derived flax yields alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, unlike a marine-derived fish oil, which yields both EPA and DHA, a more potent omega-3. Make sure you take your marine-based EPA and DHA for maximum heart-healthy benefits.
Are you looking for fast, simple and delicious ways to improve your diet? Look no further than the green smoothie! Green smoothies pack a nutritional punch and offer an impressive array of benefits.
1. Great source of antioxidants
Free radicals are atoms or molecules that form in our bodies and can damage cells. Free radicals may play a role in heart disease and cancer. While free radicals can be created due to normal chemical changes occurring in a cell, they can also be increased by external forces like smoking, radiation, and pollution. Antioxidants, found in berries and vegetables contained in green smoothies, can aid in the reduction of free radicals. (more…)

When I talk about heart disease, I like to mention up front something that many people do not realize: heart disease is mostly preventable. I say “mostly” because there is a small number of risk factors that increase your chances of getting heart disease that cannot be changed: race, sex, age, genetics and family history. But there is a much larger list of factors associated with heart disease can be changed. For example:
- Quit smoking
- Limit alcohol intake
- Manage stress
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Exercise routinely
- Cut back on foods high in saturated and trans fats
- Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fiber and fish

The Top Ten Healthiest Foods for Your Heart
When I was a kid I had no concept of food other than what tasted good. I never grasped the concept of eating for health, or that anything I repeatedly put into my body would have consequences, good and bad. And despite being raised by an Italian mother who insisted on veggies and dark leafy greens with all her homemade meals (huh?), I still ran out to McDonald’s every chance I got.
A steady diet of hamburgers and fries lasted only so long. And soon (about the time I had babies) I thought that popping a vitamin would solve all my problems. (more…)

According to the American Heart Association, “Individual response to stress may be a contributing factor. Some scientists have noted a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person’s life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status. These factors may affect established risk factors. For example, people under stress may overeat, start smoking or smoke more than they otherwise would.” (more…)

Lpa is an independent predictor of the risk of cardiovascular disease. Similar to LDL cholesterol, Lpa is a lipoprotein that contains cholesterol and can be damaging to the arteries. The Lpa is a tiny particle that circulates in the blood. These small particles of cholesterol are thought to be very damaging to the arteries if levels are elevated.
Res-Q HDL+ may help maintain Lpa at its normal level in order to help keep Lpa from rising. Niacin helps lower the secretion of apo B containing Lipoproteins and improves cardiovascular health. (more…)
