Save Your Heart With These 19 Foods
Despite continuing advancements in modern medicine, heart disease is still the leading cause of death in America. An estimated 610,000 Americans die every single year from heart disease. This equates to one in every four deaths. That’s a seriously worrying statistic...
..., here are 14 foods which you should probably make a point of eating.
- - -
Why the title says 19 foods and the article itself says 14 is beyond my capacity to think about this early in the morning...
Here they are.
1. Liver
2. Wild-caught salmon
3. Mackerel
4. Chia seeds
5. Walnuts
6. Almonds
7. Blueberries
8. Apples
9. Dark chocolate
10. Broccoli
11. Brussels sprouts
12. Green tea
13. Avocados
14. Oranges
Learn anything new?
Anything to add?
What's going on for you?
And I'll be back after Sunday school with the jokes (etc.) and "fun" question...

United States Traditions & Customs That Surprise Non-Americans
• Getting Drunk on Your 21st Birthday: The legal drinking age in the US is 21. Many Americans plan to go out for a long night of drinking alcohol with friends on their 21st birthday to celebrate this rite of passage.
• Football Tailgating: In the U, "football" is the term used to describe what others call "American football" since "football" is what the rest of the world calls soccer. Americans love football so much, that they spend hours before football games gathered in the stadium parking lot tailgating. Tailgating involves grilling and playing games with friends or strangers to get pumped up before the game even starts.
• Playing the National Anthem at Every Sporting Event: American pride is strong at sporting events from youth soccer all the way up to professional sports. If you attend any kind of sporting event for any age group, you'll probably hear the "Star-Spangled Banner" played or sung live. Players and spectators stand with hands over their hearts to show their American pride.

Could we please leave off the liver & the mackerel? Slow day today, just enjoying a nice, cooler than average afternoon. I agree! Of the items on the list other than those two, some are not really favorites, but I'd certainly eat them. Hmm...now that I think of it, I don't know if I've ever eaten mackerel. I'm generally not all that fond of fish, so I kind of assume it wouldn't be a favorite. |
