Heart Health, Part 1

Heart disease remains the number one killer in America for both men and women, and yet with all the cholesterol and blood pressure medications prescribed today, the numbers don’t seem to get much better.

Plaque is made up of calcium, bad cholesterol, fibrin and cellular waste.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
