Recipes for Weight Loss and Heart-Healthy Eating

Weight Loss

Good nutrition is one way to reduce your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. But in times of Covid-19, being stuck in the house, it is easy to forget to eat less and move more.

You might be snacking on cookies rather than something more nutritious. Try cherry tomatoes or grapes  for a healthful snack. Break kale into chip-sized pieces, toss with some olive oil, and spread on a cookie sheet. If you are ok with salt, sprinkle some on. Bake at 400° for 4 minutes. Voila! Healthful chips, and they taste better than you’d expect for kale.

Find some exercise videos on YouTube. You can search on terms very specific to your needs. Bookmark the ones you like the best.
