Did you know that World Heart Day is in September? That’s right—World Heart Day is on September 29th . This day was created to inform people about cardiovascular diseases and what they can do to improve heart health.
During this month, I like to encourage heart-healthy behaviors such as increasing physical activity and creating wholesome recipes, such as this Warm Grape, Brussels Sprouts, & Walnut Salad. We already know that walnuts provide a good source of heart-healthy fats, but did you know that grapes also provide benefits that contribute to heart health?
It’s true—grapes support heart health by promoting the relaxation of blood vessels to help maintain healthy circulation. Grapes also provide seven percent of the daily recommended intake for potassium, and they are a natural source of polyphenols, which are both crucial to heart health. Research suggests that adding grapes to your daily diet helps support heart health in both men and women.
