Can Halloween be heart-healthy?

October 2008

Dear Friends,

The winners are...

My husband of 15 years was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol. The doctor put him on statins, but it got me thinking... are we eating like we should be? As of that day, we have been buying tons of fresh fruits and veggies. For the first time in our lives, we are reading labels... checking the fat, cholesterol, and sodium contents. I must admit, I beam with pride when my 14 year old calls out in the grocery store, "Wow! Doritos are bad for me!" - Shannon and Lee, MN (check out the photo of Lee and his youngest of six children, Anna!)

I have changed the way I eat about 8 years ago. I do not usually add chips to my new way of eating, but I do add your chips to it now...I just love them. – Nancy, IL

I am a huge snacker so instead of eating high fat potato chips and pretzels, I eat Corazonas chips everyday as an energizing snack, or with my lunch sandwich. Also, in order to get more exercise in, I walk at least 30 minutes a day which is great because it gives me time to destress after work, and still get in my exercise to feel better about myself. – Stephanie, NV

We met thousands of inspiring heart health advocates at Heart Walks across the country and wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all your efforts.

The amount of funds raised for the American Heart Association was incredible and we truly appreciate the gratitiude you showed us for providing samples of our heart-healthy snacks!

The most frequent remark we received was, "These taste REALLY good! Where can I find them?".

To locate a store near you, visit our store finder and type in your zipcode. If your favorite store doesn't carry Corazonas, use this form to request them. Thanks for your support!

We've got the simplest heart-healthy Halloween party idea for you: Corazonas tortilla chips paired with Wholly Guacamole Guaca Salsa.

It's the perfect combination of flat-belly friendly monounsaturated fats, or MUFAs, plus the taste is frighteningly delicious!

Happy Heart-Healthy Halloween!

Here is a tip to consider: Switch to a laptop computer instead of a desktop. A laptop uses 90% less energy and generates less heat than a desktop!
