I love February.

It’s a celebration of love; of all things heart related.

And what’s not to love about that?

Since it’s American Heart Month, it’s the time when we focus on keeping our hearts healthy and sound so they can carry us through all the wonderful events in our lives.

As for me, I’m a beef eater. There’s no doubt about it. But I like to choose lean cuts most of the time so my ticker — and the rest of my body — stays ready to go at a moment’s notice.

You know, like when I have to climb the stairs for the umpteenth time. Or run after my kids.

I particularly like these steaks certified by the American Heart Association. They’re lean.

And now they’re on sale!

Check ’em out and do your part to celebrate American Heart Month!

You love beef. But you’ve heard the nonsense about red meat.

There’s some great information out this month debunking some myths we’ve heard. Just click here to read it.

It’s great news and it always helps to arm yourself with the facts.

Here’s one of my favorites:  Lean beef eaten every day as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower LDL cholesterol levels (you know, the bad stuff) by as much as 10 percent.

That’s awesome!

My favorite extra lean beef are these AHA-certified babies.

Stay healthy, my friends. And keep eating your beef!

Ladies, are you depressed or anxious? It’s time to put the right amount of red meat into your diet!

Or so says a recent Australian study which claims that women who cut out red meat were TWICE as likely to suffer from depression or anxiety.

TWICE AS LIKELY.

We steak enthusiasts have known for a long time that the right amount of red meat in our diets does wonders for us. Mentally and physically.

Now here’s proof!
