Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition company, in honor of
Valentine’s Day, is recommending new traditions by encouraging
couples to prepare heart-healthy meals and exercise together.
“A healthy heart is the product of balanced nutrition and
exercise,” says Susan Bowerman, MS, RD, director, Worldwide
Nutrition Education, Herbalife. “You can easily prepare a delicious
meal featuring heart-healthy foods—a meal that you and that someone
special in your life will love this Valentine’s Day, and any day of
the year for that matter.”
Research shows that healthy habits, including diet and exercise,
are best developed and maintained when accompanied by a support
structure that values and reinforces those habits.
Bowerman continues, “When people exercise together, they become
accountable to each other.”
Bowerman offered up heart-healthy meal planning tips for
Valentine’s Day including:
- Champagne and wine are fine celebratory
drinks, in moderation, as they contain natural antioxidants from
grapes. As an alternative, you can make a festive non-alcoholic
drink by adding a splash of 100% fruit juice to sparkling water.
Red-purple juices like 100% grape and pomegranate juice are rich in
polyphenols, naturally occurring compounds in the fruit, which help
to increase blood flow and support healthy blood pressure.
- Then let yourself go “a little nuts.”
Tree nuts like almonds, walnuts and pistachios are rich in
compounds called phytosterols that can help keep cholesterol in
check. Try toasting them lightly in the oven or a dry frying pan to
bring out their natural flavor. Then sprinkle them on top of
steamed vegetables for a great side dish, or add them to your
salad.
- For the main event, grill fresh fish.
Fish is generally low in total fat and saturated fat. Fish is also
one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which
helps to control the levels of certain fats in the blood, like
triglycerides and cholesterol.
- Finally, no Valentine’s Day would be
complete without a little bit of chocolate. Naturally occurring
compounds in cocoa, called flavonoids, act as antioxidants. The
darker the chocolate, the more flavonoids, so enjoy a bite of dark
chocolate to finish your meal. For a doubly healthy dessert,
drizzle some melted bittersweet chocolate over fresh berries. The
natural red-purple pigments that give berries their beautiful color
act as antioxidants, too.
