Wishing You A Happy Heart Health Month!

At Sustainable Snacks we love February. Why? Because it’s National Heart Health Month. (Our only complaint is that it’s the shortest month of the year!)

A healthier heart makes for a healthier you, and you deserve a long, healthy life. Among the seven ways to improve heart health, per the American Heart Association, are a healthier diet, an active lifestyle, and a reduction in blood sugar.

We’re proud then, that Sustainable Snacks are easily integrated into better habits because all of the ingredients in our Sustainable Snacks are heart healthy. They’re not just tasty, they’re good for your ticker, too, and were developed from nutrient-dense, health-supporting ingredients.

Sustainable Snacks are made from dark chocolate, nuts, and spices. We don’t use sugar or fillers, either.

• Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, an antioxidant, found in tea, red wine, berries, and nuts. Flavonoids reduce inflammation, improving blood pressure and increasing blood flow to the brain and heart.

• Nuts are a rich source of polyphenols and healthy fats, which promote healthy levels of HDL, often called “good” cholesterol, and reduce LDL, known as “bad” cholesterol.

• We use cinnamon, which promotes circulation and healthy blood pressure, nutmeg which promotes circulation, and cayenne helps prevent blood clots. These spices reduce the chance of strokes and heart attacks.

If you’re looking for a way to whip up something good in the kitchen with Sustainable Snacks, we have just the way to show your heart a little love.
