    1. To follow a balanced, heart-healthy diet, you want to eat veggies, fruit, fish, soy, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds on a regular basis. But some foods have more heart-healthy disease-fighting nutrients than others. Glad you liked this article. Thank you for stopping by.

  7. Garima,

    It’s good to know these are household. How are you all doing with Corona Virus. Are you inside like us? We have one shopper, me who gets out once a week. No school except we are getting all our students on Google Classroom. Be safe & well,

      1. We are good too. Getting lesson plans for students doing online learning, working on a book, getting out for shopping once a week is a treat now. Funny how little things mean more.
