Happy Heart Week - Part IV: Shop the Market...

...the Farmers' Market, that is!

One of the best things you can do for your heart is eat well, and consuming lots of fiber from things like whole grains, fresh fruits & vegetables is a great way to keep it healthy! My personal favorite place to get the freshest fruits & veggies possible is at our local Farmers' Market in Ballard. They're open year-round, and it's fun to challenge ourselves to cook with foods that are fresh locally (as tempting as a perfect orange or bunch of grapes may seem during our long PNW winters!:).

There are more and more farmers' markets opening all around the country, so get on Google and find one near you - and enjoy the benefits that a stroll through the market and some home-cooked veggies will have on your heart! :)
