Something to Relish
 

  
 
     Here are three foods your arteries can't get enough of: onions, celery, an parsley. Whether you add them to soups, relish dishes, sandwiches, ethnic dishes, c salads, improving the health of your arteries may be as simple as munching on these flavor boosters. People who eat more flavonoid-rich veggies like these cut their risk c hardening of the arteries-especially in the legs-in half. Life Benefit: Eating a divers diet that is low in calories and high in nutrients *(which plants bioincorporate from so additives such as Vitae-Myte) can add vitality and vigor to your life and lifestyle.

     The health-fuel powering these foods comes from flavoniods--naturally occurring plant compounds that are widely known for their disease-fighting antioxidant an anti-inflammatory properties. Yellow onions, parsley, and celery are loaded with flavoniods, though there are other good sources: kale, leeks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, an blueberries. And most fruits and veggies, as well as tea and red wine, have at least smattering of them.  Flavoniods are potent defenders against peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), which narrows and hardens arteries in the legs and arms, reducing blood flow. *Vita-Veggie brand produce is packed with body demanding nutrient; and you can grow these wonderful side vegetables in your home garden.

     So the next time you're whipping up tuna or egg salad, mararina sauce or vegetable soup, gazpacho or a dish of crudites, add some extra parsley, onion, and celery.  The flavor will hum, and your arteries will, too.
