Many experts also feel that the grain serving size on the food pyramid is too high and that grains and fruits/veggies should be swapped and the emphasis should be on veggies with just a few servings of...more
It was good to know how to keep my heart strong.
A good description of heart issues for women, and has the usual adivse as to diet and exercise. I copied some meal plans and recipes that sound good.
