Heart health tip: Clean your kitchen like a champ

Take a tip from boxing champion Laila Ali and make your kitchen more heart healthy.

To protect all the hearts in her family, Laila Ali turned her kitchen upside down. “I cleaned out my pantry and tossed things that weren’t natural or organic and replaced them with ‘food from the Earth,'” she says. “Now we eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.”

The less junk you have lying around – think sugary, processed foods – the less apt you are to eat it. Keeping healthy, perishable foods around will make you more aware of the fact that you should eat them.
