February is Heart Health Awarness Month

The heart is the mental/emotional center of the body. Many alternative medical practitioners believe the mind is where heart disease begins.

Here are some foods to help maintain a healthy heart.
�œ Oyster shells (in the form of oyster shell calcium)
�œWhole grains such as whole wheat, brown rice, and oats
to calm the mind and the heart
�œMushrooms (reshi, shitake) improve cerebral function and nurture the heart, soothe the spirit and calm the mind.
�œFruits such as mulberries, schisandra berries and lemons
�œChamomile, catnip, skullcap or valerian to calm the nervous
system and aide with insomnia.

Spirit focusing practices such as meditation, yoga, prayer and reciting mantras help play a vital role in heart health as well.
