Awesome lashie. Don't forget that good fats keep your heart healthy too. Greeks have loads of fat in their diets, and a very very low rate of heart attacks. So if it's an omega, then it's ok. Within reason of course.

I also wouldn't recommend things like margarine. Your body can't absorb things like that. The less processed food you eat, the healthier you will be. Real butter is higher in fat, but it's fat that your body can use and it isn't the artery clogging kind. Plus it just tastes better.

I've been reading that the jury is still way out when it comes to soy. It is estrogen producing, and large amounts of it can throw your body out of balance. It takes lots of beans to make a cup of milk. Although cow milk isn't exactly risk free either, so who knows which is better.

I wonder how healthy my heart is. Is there some kind of test I can do at home? Like if you can run this far then your heart is this healthy?

Mmmmm...bruschetta! I love that stuff.

My battle is sugar. I won't eat sugar substitutes, as the thought of chlorinated sugar or carcinogen laden whatever doesn't appeal to me. I find that if I eat lots and lots of veggies as well as balanced meals then I crave it less.
