Another HEALTHY TIP from AHA: Did you know that up to 75 percent of the sodium we eat comes from processed foods?

March is National Nutrition Month — try this heart-healthy tip from the American Heart Association: Sugar-sweetened beverages are the No. 1 source of added sugars in Americans’ diets. Aim for no more than 450 calories from sugar-sweetened beverages a week (based on a 2000-calorie diet). Better still, choose water or unsweetened teas.
