February is Heart Health Month

Posted on February 11, 2021 by Audrey Glasebrook in Library Blog

February is all about the hearts – and we don’t just mean the cards, candy, and emojis you send your Valentine. We are also observing American Heart Month, a time to think about your cardiovascular wellbeing. Luckily, the library is a great place to find health resources, from exercise tutorials to up-to-date scientific research. Here are a few tools to make sure your heart health is a top priority this month, and always.

Heart Healthy Recipes

The American Heart Association says a healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease. These heart healthy cookbooks provide great ideas for nutritious and delicious recipes:
