According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease claims more women’s lives — about 500,000 each year — than the next seven causes of death combined. Experts agree that many of the risk factors for heart disease are preventable. You can begin that prevention today by adhering to a low-fat, well-balanced diet that includes enough beans, other vegetables and seafood – and by following an active lifestyle.

Stock a Heart-healthy Pantry: Keep your pantry stocked with healthful canned foods, including canned salmon and canned tuna. Both contain heart-healthy, omega-3 fatty acids, which may help protect against heart disease. Stock up on canned fruits, vegetables, and beans too – which are also heart healthy.
