If you said, "I'll drink to that," you're off to a good start, because a glass of red wine has been shown to have benefits from the flavanols in it that can ward off heart disease.

You might want to start off your day with a warm, comforting bowl of oatmeal. It tastes good and the fiber in it is good for you and might bring down those numbers.
It's the same with fish. Fish has good fats – the Omega 3's – so load up on salmon, halibut and tuna, and reel in the benefits.

Speaking of nibbling, in the soy category there's edamame. These babies are irresistible! Microwave or boil some fresh or frozen in the shell, serve them up in a bowl and watch them disappear!
