I Can Feel My Heart Beat
Jump or jog in place for 20 seconds. Now press your fingers gently on your neck beneath your jawbone and feel your heart beat. The heart muscle pumps blood to nourish your brain, muscles and every part of your body. To help it beat properly and keep blood pressure in check it needs a mineral called potassium.
You can feed your heart potassium by eating plenty of vegetables and fruits. Aim to eat one or two servings from these food groups at every meal. These are extra high in potassium:
1/3 cup rolled oats 3/4 cup milk (nonfat or 1%) 1 small scoop nonfat frozen yogurt 1/2 banana, sliced 2 strawberries (optional)
1. Measure oats into a microwave safe cereal bowl. Stir in milk. 2. Microwave for 3 minutes, stirring after each minute. 3. Top with frozen yogurt, banana. 4. Wash and stem strawberries, slice vertically so that slices are heart shaped. Arrange on top of cereal.
