Heart health: given that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, it deserves more than our passing attention, don’t you think?
Everyone Cares About Heart Health – and Yet –
Most of Us Ignore It Unless We Have Symptoms!
So, let’s start with symptoms as described by The Washington State Department of Health.
Stroke
- Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion or trouble understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes

Q: “Why does the body have inflammation?”
Here’s a Quick and Delicious Drink that is very helpful, because it is made with ginger. There is also a version with green tea in the mix. You can make this as a hot drink or as a cold beverage. All you need is to add water, but I add it to juices and International Cafe coffees, as well.
