Do you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? It's a major cause of disability and kills one person every 34 seconds and most often the first symptom is death.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, heart attacks are preventable. Experts' recommendations for prevention includes diet, lifestyle and medication. But trying natural things should come first before medications for meds have toxic side effects.
With these and all the alarming facts about heart disease, we must really make sure that nutritionally we are getting enough to protect our heart.

Your loved one may have the key to your heart, but being physically active and eating healthy can be the key to a healthier heart.
This Heart Month, indulge your love with a heart-healthy gift or date.
|
|
Here are few of Valentine's Day tips that are good for the heart:
• Quality time is one of the most meaningful gifts.
• Cooking at home is an excellent way to control what and how much you eat.
• Gift a beautiful fresh fruit basket instead of giving sweets with added sugar.
• Take a long romantic walk with your beloved and try to make it a regular habit.
• Take it slow - if you receive a box of chocolates, stick it in the freezer
and enjoy in moderation over the next several weeks.

Chipotle Chicken Bowls with Cilantro-Lime Quinoa
|
|
|
This Mexican recipe for smoky chicken bowls make for a substantial dinner or even an easily-transported work lunch and is very good for the heart. Just a layer into a mason jar or a plastic/glass storage container for a portable meal. Also note that the chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours.
Ingredients:
|
|
For the Chicken and Bowl
• 2 Tbsp canola oil (divided)
• 1 minced chipotle pepper (+3 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 lb boneless, skinless, thinly sliced chicken breast
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 5 oz packaged spinach, spring greens or arugula
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved if desired)
• 1 avocado (peeled, diced)
• 1 cup packaged, shredded carrots (or 2 large carrots, shredded)
• 1 cup sliced radishes
• 2 scallions or green onions (finely chopped)
|
For the Cilantro-Lime Quinoa
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 cups quinoa
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 limes (zested and juiced)
• 1 1/2 cups chopped, fresh cilantro
|
|
|
Directions:
For the Cilantro-Lime Quinoa:
1. In a medium heavy-duty pot, add water, quinoa, and salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until quinoa absorbs all the liquid, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Into the quinoa, stir in the zest and juice of 2 limes and chopped cilantro.
For the Chicken and Bowl:
1. Into a large zip-top bag, add marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons canola oil, minced chipotle pepper, adobe sauce, honey, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts into the bag, making sure the chicken is well-coated with marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes (make the quinoa as you wait) or place chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for up to 24 hours.
2. Into a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken breasts and marinade liquid, using tongs to frequently turn the chicken breasts to be coated in marinade. Sauté until chicken is fully cooked, around 4 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from heat. When chicken has cooled slightly, transfer chicken to cutting board to chop into bite-size pieces. Then, transfer remaining liquid from pan into a small bowl; stir vinegar into the liquid to use as a dressing.
3.To assemble, add the greens into the bottom of each bowl. Divide quinoa and chicken among each bowl, along with tomatoes, avocado, carrots, radishes, and scallions. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
