      Heart Healthy Meals Introduction

      There is a lot that goes into keeping a heart healthy and most people ignore this fact until it is too late. The ease of fast-food restaurants and quick packaged foods has put us on the path to being too tired to enjoy life and becoming incapacitated well before our time. This book is designed to give you options with foods, menus and recipes that will reshape your body, have more energy, and to look forward to enjoying the days ahead.

      You will recognize many of the foods, but may have given them little thought in your busy life. It is time to rediscover what they are and the wonderful, healthy qualities that they possess. Get back into the game and make a new goal in life to feel your best. Learn what super foods are and how they can increase your metabolism, lower your cholesterol, and provide necessary amino acids. Here are just a few of the foods that you may have forgotten about, but need to take seriously in your new quest for a long life.

      Salmon is a fish that is not too common in today's world. Not as quick as hamburgers and hot dogs, once you find out what the rich Omega-3 fatty acids will do for your heart, it will become a regular dish each week. We have all heard about spinach, that unbelievable green puddle that we hated as kids, but have acquired a taste for, as adults. Plus, spinach does not have to be eaten alone, as proven in creamy green smoothies, crunchy Cobb salads, and as flavoring in soups and stews. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium and niacin, they can actually replace many of the supplements you now take.

      'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' may be a funny saying that you heard many times as a child, but the truth will surprise you. Apples have an antioxidant quality that can help prevent colon, lung, and prostate cancers. They are also great for lowering bad cholesterol naturally. Sweet potatoes are a very misunderstood plant that is not related to potatoes, at all. They are a root vegetable that holds morning glories in its family. So don't look at the sweet potato as a starch-filled food that will drag you down. Quite the contrary. Read how you could live on sweet potatoes and receive all of the nutritional value that your body needs.

      Other wonderful foods will offer other unknown qualities for health, such as kiwi fruit, blueberries, oats, beans, and even dark chocolate. There may be a few uncommon names that you will find very enticing in nutritional value and can be used as a replacement for foods that have no place in your diet. Quinoa is one of these newly discovered vegetables that acts like a grain and just as good. Many new users to this diet, remark about the quality sense of taste that emerges. This is not by accident. Processed foods can shadow the real taste of foods that seemed wonderful, at first. The zing of an apple, the tartness of a lemon, or the satisfying richness of a tomato will return, like a veil has been removed.

      But the best part about this book is the creative recipes and meals that are introduced to make your diet seem like a trip to a fancy restaurant. For example, there is a Chicken Florentine that uses penne pasta, cheese, garlic and spinach, as an Entree that can impress any guest that might stop by. The beauty of this dish is the simplicity in preparation. You will not spend hours with chopping, marinating, or cooking. Ready in less than 30 minutes, the aroma will have everyone sitting around the table. Find sides, soups, salads and desserts for mixing and matching with your tasty main dishes that are just as incredible. This is only Section 1 of this unbelievable cookbook that seems to offer a mountain of information and facts.

      Section 2 will take you on a journey into the world of gluten-free dieting. Gluten is a recent word that is catching the attention of some, mainly because they have been diagnosed with an allergy or sensitivity to the product. Although gluten is a natural grain, it can cause havoc on the digestive tract, leaving sufferers to feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may have a sensitivity to gluten without even realizing it. Try going gluten-free with some of these recipes that can tell you if you have a sensitivity. This is where Quinoa comes into play. Quinoa is actually a vegetable that produces seeds and can be ground into flour. It also comes in forms that is great for using in the place of rice.

      Learn where to get gluten-free products, how to use Quinoa and other gluten-free foods for breakfast, snacks, drinks and even chocolate chip cookies. Read about the benefits of better memory, improving the stomach and colon lining, and helping to digest foods that are hard to break down. At the end of this fascinating book, you will find credits and research entries for further reading on the subjects of super foods, benefits to health, and what to do in order to stay as healthy as possible. While starting your new heart healthy diet, plan out an exercise program to boost the new you and start remembering how great it feels to move and jump around.

      Read about the health challenges in our world, why the supermarket foods we consume are changing, and what we need to do as members of society to keep ourselves, and our families, from falling prey to foods that add on the pounds, steal our vitamins and take away our energy. There is a happy ending to this unique story. You do not have to give up taste in order to feel better and know that you are doing all that you can to keep your heart healthy. Eating should not be a challenge and with all of the great recipes included, you will look forward to trying all of them, each and every day.

      Section 1: Superfoods

      Before we say anything else about superfoods and the recipes that you’ll find in this book, it’s important to mention that superfoods isn’t a term which nutritionists or dieticians use. In fact, there isn’t any single, universally accepted definition of the term, although it is used to market all manner of food products and nutritional supplements. That doesn’t mean, however, that some foods aren’t, for lack of a better term, super in terms of their nutritional value and health benefits.

      Perhaps the most useful definition of superfoods is this: a food which is rich in essential nutrients, phytochemicals and other beneficial compounds, but that is also healthy in the broadest sense. These are fairly low calorie foods which contain no additives or artificial ingredients.

      The best superfoods are also some of
