Hahn Pinot Noir – Good for your heart and the earth
 
If you want to combine the heart-healthy properties of a good red wine with a hearty dose of environmental awareness, you’re in luck — try Hahn Estates Pinot Noir. Wines from this vineyard are produced sustainably, using integrated farming practices, and Hahn is certified under the Sustainability in Practice Vineyard Certification Program. Plus, red wine is great for your heart. “Made from grapes and then fermented with the skins, red wine is rich in flavanols,” says Liz Applegate, Ph.D. “These compounds found in grape skins act as powerful antioxidants, which protect the bad carrier of cholesterol LDL from damaging artery walls thus lowering heart disease risk.”

Health Notes with Dr. Liz
Get Moving – A “Recipe” for Heart Health
February is National Heart Health Month, and during this drive for health-awareness, super foods like salmon and olive oil usually get top billing. But don’t forget that physical activity plays a vital role in heart health at every age. Here’s a rundown on what daily exercise can do for your heart, along with tips on how to fit fitness into your life:
- Regular exercise helps lower your levels of unhealthy cholesterol, as well as control high blood pressure.
- Routine exercise also assists in stabilizing blood sugar levels, helping to lower your risk of developing Type II diabetes.
- Studies show that daily physical activity such as jogging and biking around town help combat stress by lowering levels of hormones and other markers that indicate both mental and physical stress.
- Exercise helps boost our feeling of well-being and confidence, which, along with stress reduction, helps lower heart disease risk.
Aim for 30 to 60 minutes daily of moderate exercise, such as jogging, gardening, heavy housework, brisk walking and bike riding. You can reach your daily activity goal with “exercise bouts” of 10 minutes or more, spread out during the day. For example, a 10-minute brisk walk at work and a 20-minute bike ride in the afternoon combine to achieve your daily goal. Also, limiting “screen” time (TV, computer, video games) to less than 2 hours at a sitting will help you get up and get moving!
