Heart-Healthy Valentine’s Dinner

Heart-Healthy Valentine’s Dinner

Q: I’d like to cook a heart-healthy meal for my wife on Valentine’s Day. What do you suggest?

A: You sound like a great husband! There are thousands of heart-healthy recipes out there.

In fact, the American Heart Association has quite a few on their own website at www.americanheart.org.

While Valentine’s Day is a great time to start thinking about matters of the heart, tell your wife that you are committed to helping the whole family eat healthier and live longer and that this gesture on Valentine’s Day is just the start.

Dr. Brent Ridge is the health expert for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
