Be kind to your heart: 5 tips to keep your heart healthy and plaque free

Celeste Gleave, founder of SHEROES United, a non-profit organization that identifies female role models; and a past president of Go Red, a national campaign by the American Heart Association, gives us her top 5 tips on how to keep your heart healthy.

1- Know your numbers such as blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and cholesterol.  “The works” is what she calls it.  Knowing where your body is at will help you be able to see where there might need to be improvements.

2- Think about your diet. When it comes to your diet, she stresses, a balanced diet is key.

3- Know your family history. Facts about family history with disease or medical conditions are vitally important parcels of information.

4- Set up a great “feasible” exercise program, even if that means only exercising for 30 minutes a day.

5- Educate yourself! Know the signs and symptoms of heart disease. Women and men show or present warning signs differently, so be mindful. 

 

When Fox 13 interviewed Todd Eldredge, President and CEO of CardioRisk Laboratories, he related the CIMT procedure to having plaque on a tooth. "If you have plaque on a tooth, you have it in your whole mouth," he said. "This is the same kind of concept that if you find plaque in the carotid artery, you're going to find it systemically."

The CIMT procedure only takes 10 minutes and costs $150.00 per person. Results come within two to five business days.  Knowing where there are high amounts of plaque can greatly cut down the risk of heart attack and stroke.

New Café in Holladay: Where Sticky Meets Savory

Ribbon cutting ceremony

We have a new neighbor just down the road from Jakob Marketing Partners. Great Harvest Bread Company Café officially opened their doors for business on Saturday, May 18.  The new location is next to Great Harvest Bread Company bakery on 4655 South 2300 East in Holladay. We sent our social media intern Tiffany Justice to taste test the baked goods.

"One of their newest creations they've rolled out is their sticky buns. The baking process is creative and the end product is delicious.  These sticky buns are made with Great Harvest's cinnamon burst bread dough. After the buns come out of the oven they're doused with their strawberry butter and then dipped in pecans," explains Tiffany Justice, Jakob Marketing Partners Social Media Intern.

Bakers produced 800 cookies for the grand opening

Great Harvest Bread Company Cafe Co-owners Peggy McVea and Steve Washburn are siblings. They came together to hand out free cookies and drinks to those who bought sandwiches. In addition they gave 10 percent of Saturday's net profit to the Road Home to help the homeless. "We want to give back to the community and help those in need in our own neighborhood," said Washburn.

Sweet definitely meets savory at Great Harvest Bread Company Café with their wide selection of sandwiches. Customers can choose between two menus of their premium and classics sandwiches. One of their most popular sandwiches is their classic turkey. A simple pleasure - it’s made with turkey, provolone cheese, tomatoes, mayo and lettuce pictured on the right below.

There's no shortage of treats at Great Harvest Bread Company Cafe. The cookie and bread samples are huge. On Saturday, kids also received free face painting and balloon animals. It was surely a trip to remember!
