WomenHeart’s All Heart Family Cookbook {Giveaway}

Many women know that Heart disease is the number one cause of death for women in the U.S. Sadly though many women don't know how to help prevent it or the risk factors. Which of these applies to you?
  • Family history of coronary artery disease or stroke
  • Age 55 or older
  • Post-menopausal
  • Family history of premature cardiac disease (under age 60), especially in a sibling or parent
  • Obesity
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Smoking
  • Hypertension
  • High over all cholesterol
  • Low HDL cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Increased CRP
  • Use of birth control pills, especially if you smoke
  • Complicated pregnancy
Wow. I can check a bunch off myself even only being 24 years old! So now that you know the risk factors what types of things do you want to change in your life? I am proud to say I have been making a change to live healthier and help my family to live healthier. I am VERY proud to say I quit smoking over 8 months ago. We also have been working hard to get more exercise. Having a 5 month old definitely helps with the exercise! But the biggest thing we have been doing is cooking healthier.

Do you want to start cooking healthier too? Then why not start with the WomenHeart’s All Heart Family Cookbook?

WomenHeart is the national coalition for women with heart disease. Their cookbook, written by Kathy Kastan, Suzanne Banfield, along with Wendy Leonard and the members of WomenHeart, features information and recipes using the 40 foods that have been proven to promote heart health the best!

The cook book covers everything from Heart Health and what you need to know to keep your heart in shape, to learning about these 40 heart healthy foods such as Dark Chocolate, Salmon and Red Wine, and then how to make wonderful recipes using those 40 ingredients for heart healthy meals!

Sara Lee Fresh Bakery offered some of their delicious heart healthy sandwich recipes in the WomenHeart's ALL HEART Family Cookbook. They have partnered with The Heart Truth Campaign to help raise awareness of heart disease among women and encourage them to make healthy choices every day. To further help the cause Sara Lee will contribute one dollar for every cookbook ordered up to $35,000 to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.
