Eat like a kid

If you've been trying to be kind to your heart by eating oatmeal and need a break at breakfast . . dig into your kid's cereal.

A study, just out, shows eating whole grain cereals, and that means at least 25% oat or bran, helps reduce your heart disease risk.

Of course, eating these cereals 6-7 times a week was best .. just be sure to top it with skim milk. Personally, I'm a fan of yogurt on my cereal - try it, you might like it.
btw: the study was presented at the American Heart Association's annual conference.

when there are no kids at home i ALWAYS revert to my mini-wheats or oatmeal - fast, filling and YUMMY and lots of fiber - leaves me time to actually do things i don't get to do when they're around --
