Summary: September 29th is World Heart Day, so we decided to devote this week's show to easy tips for eating and savoring a heart-healthy diet. Back in the day, a heart-healthy diet was far from satisfying and quite restrictive. Eggs, nuts, and shrimp were often off limits, and people were urged to opt for fat-free fare. Today, research shows that a heart-healthy diet can and should include a wide array of mouth-watering and nutrient-rich foods: eggs, seafood and shellfish, canola oil (the lowest in saturated fat of all the popular cooking oils) and other good-for-you fats, nuts, fruits and veggies and so much more! On the show we feature two recipes; Bistro Chicken Salad and Quick Dark Chocolate Brownies. Both feature ingredients like canola oil, which research shows can help to reduce heart disease risk.
