Improving and maintaining cardiovascular health can help you and your family enjoy a longer, healthier life. An easy first step to eating healthy is to include color at every meal. Fill your plate with lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and some dairy products. All colors count, so go ahead and add color to your plate – and your life.
