This unique healthful gift basket combines powerful guided imagery by Belleruth Naparstek and heart-healthy foods to help improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and overall heart health.
The guided imagery CD,
A Meditation to Promote a Healthy Heart, is 50 relaxing minutes of Belleruth's imagery for healthy cholesterol, opening arteries, reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, and strengthening the heart.
The foods included have been chosen specifically for their ability to help improve cardiovascular health as well as for their great taste.
For a powerful cholesterol-fighting start to your day, try a breakfast of delicious steel cut oatmeal topped with flavonoid-rich dried
blueberries. Flavonoid-rich foods lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by quenching harmful free radicals that contribute to atherosclerosis. And, instead of coffee, have a cup of green tea which may help lower cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure.
Snacks, when chosen carefully, can provide many cardio-protective benefits. Almonds, for instance, are rich in magnesium which protects against heart disease and is also important for regulation of heart rhythm and blood clotting. Pistachios contain plenty of plant sterols, which are believed to reduce the risk of heart disease and are also an excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acid, a beneficial type of fat that helps to reduce LDL (the "bad") cholesterol levels and raise HDL (the "good") levels.
