Foodie Fridays: Second Edition

Foodie Fridays: Second Edition


Written by Greystone on September 30, 2016



This past week we observed World Heart Day by spreading awareness and offering tips to improve heart health!

How much do you know about your heart? It’s a pretty amazing part of your body! The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood and beating about 100,000 times every day.
