Visit the American Heart Month Website to find a quiz on heart health. It was eye opening to see that I answered mostly with B’s and have some things to work on to get my family more heart-healthy.

Listed under their tip section were some easy ways I can improve my family’s heart-health. Beginning with a more active lifestyle and adding more fruits and vegetables to our diet.

Be sure to watch the video from the American Heart Healthy Website to see how to include more heart healthy items in your shopping basket. I learned that one 8oz glass of Welch’s 100% Grape Juice is equal to two servings of fruit without any added sugar! The Concord Grapes in Welch’s 100% Grape Juice has more than a decade’s worth of research to prove that they support a healthy heart.
