Want something crunchy and a little salty… say “no” to chips and reach for some walnuts instead. Incorporating them into your diet may help reduce the risk of heart disease by improving blood vessel elasticity and plaque accumulation. Walnuts have also been shown to help lower LDL cholesterol and CRP (C-Reactive Protein), which has been recognized as an independent marker and predictor of heart disease.

BONUS TIP FOR DIABETICS: Some studies in the past few years have found that walnuts improve blood flow and lower LDL cholesterol by 10% in people with type 2 diabetes.

As I reached my mid-40s, a lot of stress, very little exercise, and running too many people to the doctor resulted in lots of fast food. I was feeling tired and run down. Jenny Glenn contacted me about a challenge group and I joined. I took baby steps. Jenny was always there to encourage me and guide me and pick me up when I felt I had failed. I am doing much better. Jenny has continued to always be there for me and encourage me.
