 
The
secret to a heart-healthy diet...
Healthy eating does not require a Ph.D. in nutrition. Choosing
the right foods may be easier than you think. Eating whole foods
such as fresh fruit and vegetables; whole grains and nuts provide
all the essential components of a healthy diet. Certain varieties
of nuts, like almonds, for example, have been shown in recent
research to lower your cholesterol level, thereby reducing your
risk of coronary heart disease. Almonds contain significant
amounts of magnesium, vitamin E, fiber, and potassium, all of
which are beneficial to coronary health. Dina's Secret® Recipe
Healthy Gourmet Cookies contain flaxseeds (rich in Omega-3),

reported in Bottom Line Health says that eating almonds actually lowers
"bad" cholesterol.
