February is American Heart Month, and Welch’s would like to take a moment to remind us that a heart-helthy diet starts at the grocery store. According to a recent study, while most over us know that certain foods are heart-healthy, only a fraction of us actually buy heart-healthy foods on a regular basis. There’s a perception that heart-healthy foods won’t taste as good or are too pricey, however with something as easy as a serving of Concord grape juice, you actually have a taste of delicious, heart-healthy goodness.
As you head into the to grocery store this month, let this be the start of a heart-healthy consciousness to help keep you and your family healthy.
To learn more about how you can “heart your cart” visit www.welchs.com/rewardyourheart, where you’ll find coupons for your favorite Welch’s products, shopping tips, recipes, and more heart-healthy resources. Make sure you visit the site for your chance to win a Kinect for Xbox 360® Fitness Prize Pack too!
