I love February.

It’s a celebration of love; of all things heart related.

And what’s not to love about that?

Since it’s American Heart Month, it’s the time when we focus on keeping our hearts healthy and sound so they can carry us through all the wonderful events in our lives.

As for me, I’m a beef eater. There’s no doubt about it. But I like to choose lean cuts most of the time so my ticker — and the rest of my body — stays ready to go at a moment’s notice.

You know, like when I have to climb the stairs for the umpteenth time. Or run after my kids.

I particularly like these steaks certified by the American Heart Association. They’re lean.

And now they’re on sale!

Check ’em out and do your part to celebrate American Heart Month!

You love beef. But you’ve heard the nonsense about red meat.

There’s some great information out this month debunking some myths we’ve heard. Just click here to read it.

It’s great news and it always helps to arm yourself with the facts.

Here’s one of my favorites:  Lean beef eaten every day as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower LDL cholesterol levels (you know, the bad stuff) by as much as 10 percent.

That’s awesome!

My favorite extra lean beef are these AHA-certified babies.

Stay healthy, my friends. And keep eating your beef!

Since March is National Nutrition Month, there’s a lot of talk about eating healthy out there.

We steak lovers strive to be healthy, too, so I thought we might like a refresher on what the leanest cuts of meat actually are.

And where’s the best place to get this information? The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics at EatRight.org.

Click here to see the full answer to the question:  “Which cuts of meat are considered lean?”

And when you’re ready to incorporate some sirloin into your weekly menus, you can order some fantastic beef that has been certified extra lean by the American Heart Association here.

What are YOUR goals for this National Nutrition Month???
