What does your heart mean to you? At Kashi we believe that your heart is the essence of who you are. It is the engine of your body. A healthy heart enables you to do what you want - whether it's taking your dog on a walk or pursuing that crazy dream. It allows you to be there for the people you love. So it's worth taking care of. That's why we created Heart to Heart, to give you more easy and tasty choices for your heart. So come on - give your heart some love. Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat cereal is a tasty way to do more for your heart with oats, honey & 6 natural antioxidants! More for Your Heart: We believe there's more to heart health than lowering cholesterol, so we added more heart healthy ingredients to promote healthy arteries and healthy blood pressure. We picked each and every ingredient with your heart in mind. Heart to Heart can help: reduce cholesterol with 1g soluble fiber from oats; support healthy arteries with 6 natural antioxidants plus 3 heart healthy vitamins: B6, B12 and folic acid; promote healthy blood pressure with low sodium. More for You: While we believe that you are what you eat, it takes more than great food to keep your heart healthy and happy. Playing outside, laughing, volunteering and finding other ways to stay active and maintain balance in your life are keys to staying heart healthy. 6 Natural Antioxidants: The antioxidants in Heart to Heart help defend against damage caused by free radicals in your body; Polyphenols, contained in green and white tea, help fight against free radicals. Phenols in grape seed extract are plant-based antioxidants; Vitamin E helps protect cells and tissues, while vitamin C helps recharge vitamin E; Carotenoids like beta carotene (vitamin A) are also free radical fighters. From our heart to yours: At Kashi, the seven whole grain company, we believe everyone has the power to make positive, healthy lifestyle changes. For over 25 years it's been our mission to provide great tasting, all natural whole grain foods to help you live well. That's why we made Heart to Heart with more heart healthy ingredients to: help reduce cholesterol - since high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, each serving of Heart to Heart has 1g of soluble fiber that combines with water during digestion to help remove cholesterol. In a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, 3 grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oats may reduce the risk of heart disease; help support healthy arteries - your heart needs healthy arteries to deliver oxygen and vital nutrition to your body. That's why we added nutrients to help fight free radicals and keep arteries healthy. Heart to Heart is high in antioxidant vitamins E, C and beta carotene. Extracts from green tea (100 mg), white tea (50 mg) and grape seed (25 mg), rich in polyphenols, are also potent antioxidants. Plus you'll get 100% daily value for heart healthy vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid; help promote healthy blood pressure - high blood pressure is another major risk factor for heart disease. Sodium is important to the body, but a high sodium diet is associated with hypertension. Heart to Heart is low in sodium and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure as part of a low sodium diet. A diet high in soluble fiber can help reduce cholesterol levels and promote cardiovascular health. Soluble fiber acts like a sponge in the body. It dissolves in water to form a gel-like material and as it passes through the digestive system, it binds cholesterol, removing it from your body. Good sources of soluble fiber include whole grains like oats, brown rice and barley, beans, peas, fruits and vegetables. More for your heart! Eat 48 g or more of whole grams daily.
