February is American Heart Month. I am sure you know that healthy exercise and movement are wonderful at keeping your heart muscle in shape. If you combine that with a healthy diet containing lots of fresh vegetables and healthy fats, such as grass-fed butter, virgin coconut oil and avocados, for instance, and keep blood pressure in check, your heart will surely thank you!
But are you aware that there is a culinary spice which was shown, in a study, to prevent age-associated decline in endothelial function in post-menopausal women as much as exercise did?(1) The endothelium is the lining of the blood vessels. A dysfunction involving the endothelium can impact the regulation of blood pressure, blood clotting, and various other factors which can lead to heart disease.
Can you guess the spice?
