Time for an Oil Change

Perhaps you’re a fan of thick gooey salad dressings, thinking that what's underneath will cure everything.

Although tomatoes can certainly help to "rinse" arteries clean, adding goo on top can certainly hinder.  If heart health is your goal, it might be time for an oil change.

Olive oil, “when mixed with nitrite-rich vegetables like lettuce [produces] compounds called nitro fatty acids.”  These acids can help to lower blood pressure.

For even greater protection against heart disease, Best Life offers the follow tips: become engaged in some regular cardio exercise routines, remain well hydrated throughout each day, eat potassium-rich foods such as bananas and spinach, use anti-inflammatory spices such as ginger and turmeric, rescue a pooch and make it your faithful companion, sleep in a dark and quiet environment, limit salt and sugar intake, and have more fun.

That last one bears repeating:  HAVE MORE FUN!
