With Valentine's Day coming up (you knew that, right?), we got to thinking about ... our hearts. So, enter February -- Heart Healthy Month!

We can easily influence our heart's health with the foods we eat. Check out what these articles have to say about diet and the many hints they provide for improving one's heart health with the foods we eat.

When they refer to mono- and poly-unsaturated fats, think fats that are liquid at room temp: Extra Virgin Olive Oil being the best of all; with nut oils, fish oils, and seed oils offering many heart healthy benefits, too. So, get out the Extravagonzo and live it up!

Onward through the sunshine....
