EQUALITY HEALTH, BASHAS’ FOOD CITY AND CHEF “CHILO” CHACÓN UNITE TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY DIET IN OUR COMMUNITY
Share the Love
This month is the traditional time in countries around the world to celebrate sharing love. But the connection with hearts and love doesn’t stop on February 14. February is American Heart Month, and the whole month is dedicated to heart health awareness.
Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for one in four deaths in the United States. The good news is what yourself eat directly affects your health, and you can show your love to yourself and your family by paying attention to the foods you choose to eat.
A good diet includes a variety of foods that provide the necessary nutrients you need to stay healthy, feel good and have enough energy to last the entire day. These nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water.
The right diet can help you maintain a strong heart for a long and healthy life. So it’s important to share the love by preparing meals with a healthy quantity of quality ingredients. Food City shoppers learned more about cooking heart healthy recipes when Equality Health’s Walk-in Clinic, Bashas’ Food City and renowned Chef Isidro “Chilo” Chacón came together to promote healthy eating in the community.
