🔑TIP: GET A HOBBY!

This week’s challenge is about heart health (knowing your BP numbers) and I have another tip for you.

Get a hobby! Sounds weird, right?

But hobbies can actually help you lower your stress levels, relax, and unwind – which is good for your blood pressure and your heart.

Knit, crochet, do woodworking, tackle jigsaw puzzles, etc. Whatever makes you happy and you find relaxing! 🥰

What’s one of your favorite hobbies? 👇👇

🏆This recipe might become one of your favourites for make-ahead/meal prep lunches!

These meatballs are made this week’s food of the week. Plus they’re baked … which means not only do they come together quickly, but they don’t require you to stand over the stove to cook them.

PLUS … they taste AMAZING! Pair them with a veggie and rice for a full meal.

👨🍳Baked Turkey Meatballs 👨🍳
(makes 12 meatballs/4 servings)

● Non-stick cooking spray
● 1 lb (450 grams) lean ground turkey
● ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
● 1 egg
● 1½ Tbsp Soy Sauce
● 1 tsp Italian seasoning
● ½ tsp onion powder
● ¼ tsp sea salt
● 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Preheat your oven to 200ºC and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, place all the ingredients. Mix them gently until just combined.

Roll the mixture into 12 x 2” (5 cm) balls. Place the meatballs on the foil and bake until browned, about 15-20 minutes. If you are using a thermometer, the internal temp should read 165 degrees.

Enjoy! 😋

👩🍳Let’s talk TURKEY! 🦃🦃

A lot of times we think of turkey simply as “protein” … but it actually has other important micronutrients your body needs.

💡It’s loaded with B vitamins which are critical for energy levels, brain functioning, and more.

Plus, it’s an excellent source of minerals like selenium, zinc, and phosphorus.

When you’re eating turkey … the type of meat matters.

Dark meat from the legs and thighs are HIGHER in calories and fat, while white breast meat is higher in protein.

Either way, turkey is delicious roasted, in burgers, added to casseroles and soups, in sandwiches, and more.

❓What’s your favorite way to eat turkey? ⬇️⬇️

🔥 WEEKLY CHALLENGE! 🔥

It’s time to SHOW YOUR HEART SOME LOVE.

💖It’s the Know Your Numbers Challenge – as in, your blood pressure numbers.

These numbers are mind-blowing:

The lifetime risk of developing hypertension appears to be 90%, according to findings from the Framingham Heart Study.

This matters because high blood pressure is linked with an increased risk of heart disease (the world’s #1 cause of death) and stroke.

AND, most of the time, the only sign of a possible problem is a high BP reading.

That’s why high blood pressure is called THE SILENT KILLER – it can strike with no warning, even among those who are otherwise fit and healthy.

This week your challenge is to KNOW YOUR NUMBERS by getting into the habit of checking your blood pressure regularly – starting this week!

You can get a BP reading at most pharmacies, from your doc, even from your own BP monitor (they are surprisingly affordable at pharmacies, superstores, etc.).

What’s a good BP range?

✅ NORMAL: 120/80 or lower
🚩ELEVATED: 120-129/80 or lower
🚨HIGH BP (HYPERTENSION STAGE 1): 130-139/80-89
🚨HIGH BP (HYPERTENSION STAGE 2): 140+/90+
🚑 HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS: 180+/130+ (Seek immediate medical attention)

LOW blood pressure can be tricky, too.

That's because it can make you feel dizzy, tired, or fuzzy. Plus if it’s chronically low, it can be related to an underlying issue.
