As American Heart Month draws to a close, we want to encourage everyone to remember that focusing on your heart health should be a year-round, every day effort.
We hope you found the articles posted this month on Food for Thought helpful towards your own personal heart health. It’s been educational and inspirational for us as well. You can always reread this month’s posts and find new articles to read by visiting our Heart Health and Healthy Living categories.
We will continue this discussion on our blog as we believe one of the core benefits of Let’s Dish! is that you can always have a freezer full of healthy, convenient meals. And, it is certainly our commitment in the mid-Atlantic to continue to develop and offer heart-healthy dishes on our monthly menu and find new ways to help our customers live a healthful lifestyle.
We want to especially thank Catherine Joiner, our registered dietician and American Heart Association liaison, for all of her valuable contributions. She added a tremendous amount to our conversation and we appreciate the time she volunteered on our behalf. We are delighted to share that Catherine has agreed to continue to bring guidance on living a heart healthy lifestyle to Food for Thought; you can find for her past and future posts by clicking on “By Catherine Joiner” after any one of her articles.
And, we very much appreciate our Dish from the Heart authors: Nikki Dungee, Rick Corcoran Sr, and Sheila Ferrell. Your first-hand experiences help to bring home heart disease in a personal and emotional way that can help motivate others to action. Thank you for sharing. As we continue our mission, if any reader of this blog would ever like to share a heart health or healthy living story, please don’t hesitate to email us.
Finally, we want to thank all of you that participated in our heart-healthy initiatives at Let’s Dish! stores in MD and Northern VA this month. We were able to register hundreds of you for the AHA’s Go Red for Women movement in our stores and applaud you for your step toward fighting heart disease. If you didn’t get a chance to join this month, you can always sign up online and take the Go Red Heart Checkup on the Go Red Website.
