The perfect gift to yourself and your loved ones this Valentine’s is the gift of heart health. Along with Valentine’s Day, February marks Heart Month, a great time to commit to a healthy lifestyle and make small changes that can lead to a lifetime of heart health.
We have both lost family and friends to heart attacks and strokes, and knowing others currently battling heart disease, this topic is very near and dear to our hearts! This month we'd love to share some simple life changes you can adopt, introduce a delicious and nutritious recipe to try, as well as send you a whole lotta' LOVE!
From our hearts to yours...wishing you a happy, healthy and loved-filled February!

BiOmega™
High-quality, ultra-pure fish oil supplement.
Provides advanced and guaranteed levels of EPA and DHA, two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids important for healthy brain function.
Supports sound cardiovascular health.
Omega-3s are found in many fish oils,
but did you know that shrimp were also
heart healthy?
One of the most desirable aspects of shrimp is its omega-3 fat content. Just four ounces of shrimp provides about 325 -375 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids, including about 50% EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 50% DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA and DHA are especially important omega-3s for cardiovascular and nervous system health.
Shrimp & Papaya Quesadillas
Single Serving Recipe
Ingredients:
Hand peeled shrimp – 100g/person
½ small onion, finely diced, per person
¼ cup diced papaya, per person
1/3 cup shredded soy cheddar or mozzarella, per person
3 tbsp. grapeseed oil (2 tbsp. + 1 tbsp.)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Large tortilla wraps (approx. 12”)
Directions:
Sauté diced onion in 2 tbsp. grapeseed oil over medium-high heat until they begin to brown and caramelize. Remove onions from pan. Preserve oil for sautéing shrimp.
Add shrimp to oil and sauté over medium-high heat. If necessary, you may add more oil. Add 1 tbsp. lemon juice and sauté for another 1-2 mins.
In a separate pan over medium-high heat, lightly oil pan and place wrap in pan, layer shrimp, papaya, onion and cheese in one half of the wrap. Fold over and cover. Cook until cheese melts.

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
How about forgetting the bad news altogether?
It has become a compulsion and addiction in today's society to be abreast of breaking news as it happens; be it about politics, the economy, the weather or Hollywood's latest gossip. When we subscribe to this sensationalized channel of media we are signing ourselves up for an overdose of toxic information: the good, the bad and the ugly. This can negatively affect our mental, emotional and physical health more than we know.
Being that February is American Heart Month it is only fitting that we proactively choose actions that nurture our hearts emotionally and support our mental state.
*See Special Edition January TIME Magazine cover regarding Mindfulness: The New Science of Health & Happiness.
For starters, consider reducing, limiting or eliminating exposure altogether. If that sounds too drastic consider trying a 24 hour "fast”, and then try 2 days…challenge yourself to see how long you can go without immersing yourself in the negative news cycle. Rest assured, the important information will continue to find its way to you, either via a neighbour or a pop news radio station.
For something completely different, how about watching this good news video below?
