I thought what better day to talk about heart health than Valentines Day. In the great battle of life and death statistics, it appears that heart disease has taken the crown as the reigning champion of doom, sorry no stories. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have declared it the heavyweight champion of mortality. In the United Kingdom, 1 in 8 males and 1 in 14 females die from heart disease. But don’t despair, for there may be a way to dodge this vicious opponent, and it comes in the form of six extraordinary super-foods that can potentially save the day.

When it comes to Nuts, Mother Nature knows how to pack a punch! These little powerhouses are bursting with fibre, protein, B and E vitamins, and a treasure trove of minerals and antioxidants. Plus, they've got boatloads of mono-saturated fats - the same ones that make olive oil so fancy. And don't even get us started on the omega-3 fatty acids they bring to the table.
