Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

FIRST! IN THE SPIRIT

 OF VALENTINES DAY

i thought i'd educate you on taking care of that

little precious heart of yours : )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Healthy Hearts Beat For A Long Time;

Here's How to Improve Yours---

SMALL DIETARY CHANGES

EAT: Monosaturated fats, Polysaturated fats, Omega-3 fatt acids

and Vitamin A & B

EXAMPLE: nuts, salmon, blueberries, eggs, oatmeal, beans, tuna

STAY HYDRATED

WATER helps your heart pump blood through your blood vessels and your 

muscles to remove waste so both can function more efficiently

PUMP SOME IRON

TRAINING WITH WEIGHTS increases blood flow to the limbs and h

as positive effects on blood pressure. It also helps shift your body 

composition from fat to muscle, which,

 in the long term, is good for heart health too.

COUNT SOME SHEEP

Lack of SLEEP has been shown to contribute to

heart disease like High Blood Pressure High Cholesterol, 

and Impaire Glucose Tolerance.

CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

When there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it builds up the walls of 

your arteries, causing a process called atherosclerosis (form of heart disease). 

This causes the arteries to become narrow and blood flow to

the heart is slowed/blocked.

SAYONARA TO SALT

Sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body,

 placing burden on the heart. The American Heart Association recommends 

no more than 1500mg of sodium a day

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With all of this being said,

I was AMAZEDDDDD at the amount of sodium found in

 soup for how LITTLE the cans of soups are. 

I couldn't PHATHOM buying these, but I had such a craving for soup…

 so I made my own.

It was WAY easier than I expected and the nutrition, compared to

store-bought soups, was TOTALLY worth the effort.
