Greetings!
Have you listened to your heart lately? What does it tell you? Are you surrounded by people that fill your heart? or drain it? February is considered the month of love which no question should be honored and celebrated. But we need to take care of our heart each and every day. Make sure you are loving yourself up with lots of self care. As I've mentioned before, the better we love and take care of ourselves, the more we have to give and can show up for others. Surround yourself with loving people. Life's too short and your heart too precious not to. Get in touch with your heart centered energy and let it radiate!
With love,
Lynn

seeds, and walnuts.
5. Floss your teeth. Bacteria that causes the gum disease
gingivitis has been linked to diseased arteries in heart attack
patients.
6. Touch and be touched. Many scientific studies have shown that
people who were touched lovingly every day had significantly fewer
heart problems than the control group!

minerals. Seaweeds have been shown to stabilize blood pressure,
regulate cholesterol, and dissolve fatty build-ups in the blood vessels.

apricots, and seaweed can cut your risk of a stroke by approx. 40%.

What are Cacao Nibs?
Cacao nibs are peeled, crushed cacao beans. Cacao
is a small evergreen tree that is native to tropical Mexico. Its seeds are used to make cocoa and
chocolate. A nutritious raw superfood, studies indicate cacao has more antioxidant flavonoids than most any other food, including red wine, blueberries, and green tea. It's an incredibly rich source of magnesium and other essential minerals like calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulfur and potassium. With its nutty, cocoa flavor, you can add cacao nibs to an assortment of foods such as smoothies, trail mix, and oatmeal.
Cacao
nibs contain 10 grams of antioxidants per 100 grams of beans. (A normal
chocolate bar contains approximately 500 milligrams per 100 grams.)
The antioxidants in cacao may have these benefits:
Decrease blood pressure
Improve circulation
Promote cardiovascular functions and help fight heart disease
Improve function of endothelial cells that line the circulatory system
Provide protection from free radicals, which may trigger cancer, heart disease and stroke
Improve digestion
Organic Raw Cacao Nibs are an incredibly rich source of magnesium (272 mg per 100g.)
Magnesium helps relax nerves and muscles, builds and strengthens bones and keeps blood circulating smoothly.
According
to several sources, magnesium is the most deficient major mineral in
the American diet with over 80 percent of Americans deficient in
magnesium. The body does not produce magnesium, so it must be supplied
by one's diet.

contains nutrients to keep you happy!
