Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to show some love to dark chocolate ❤️

When enjoyed in moderation, dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) can offer some sweet benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants and may support heart health, brain function, and even your mood.

Try pairing a few squares with berries or mixed nuts for added fiber and a more balanced, heart-healthy treat.

What chocolate are you reaching for this Valentine’s Day? 🍫

February is National Heart Month! 💗

A perfect time to learn how the foods you eat can help support a healthy heart.

A heart-healthy diet focuses on:
🥑 Healthy fats
🌾 Fiber-rich foods
🍓 Antioxidant-packed options
🧂 Lower sodium choices

Healthy fats help boost good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Antioxidants fight inflammation, and keeping sodium in check helps support healthy blood pressure—key for heart health.

The five foods above are simple, everyday options that can make a big difference when eaten regularly!

Sodium is one of the most talked-about minerals—and for good reason. It plays an important role in regulating fluid balance and helping manage blood pressure in the body.

While salting our food can make meals more enjoyable, there can be too much of a good thing. Consistently high sodium intake may increase the risk of several medical complications, especially for older adults.

● The general recommendation is less than 2,300 mg per day (about 1 teaspoon of salt).
● For individuals with high blood pressure, the goal is 1,500 mg per day or less.

Check out the post above for simple tips and strategies to help reduce sodium intake while still keeping meals flavorful!
