SAVE YOUR HEART WITH A PLANT-BASED DIET

In honor of National Heart Health Month, I hope you will take a moment and think about your ticker. Think about how much money you spend on food that gunks it up. And how much money you’d spend on surgeries to ungunk it. And how cheap a bag of beans is, or a bag of bulk organic oatmeal.

You can put money in your pocket over the long haul, lots of it, and have a ticker that keeps on ticking into your Georgia O-Keefe years, OR you can have that triple-cheese, double-meat, mayo-on-a-sawdust-bun contrivance from a fast food hamburger joint that, let’s face it, probably makes you feel like poo after you eat it.

And if money in your pocket—scads of it, comparatively speaking—doesn’t give you a change of, well, heart, then perhaps this will:

I took up the challenge to get my heart into shape four years ago.
