Hey, moms. Guess what? It’s not only old men who have heart problems. Actually, heart disease is the #1 killer of women! Seriously, I kid you not. You know what else? One of a woman’s most vulnerable times for heart issues is when they’re pregnant or have tiny babies. (Don’t we get all the luck?) If you think about it, it makes perfect sense what with all this pregnancy, lugging little people around, constantly lifting and bending – not to mention the fact that a lack of sleep puts a strain on your whole body, including your heart.
I’m a big proponent of making sure you take care of yourself, instead of just everybody else! Don’t let February be just about candy hearts for you; let it remind you to take care of your real heart. Cook some meals with plenty of heart healthy vegetables, whole grains, and heart healthy fish. Start with my pasta primavera below – it’s a one pan heart health powerhouse!

Resolutions tend to dwindle in February. This is great reminder to stay healthy and to take care of you. Thanks for the great recipe ☺
