South Beach Diet creator has a new heart-healthy program

Chances are you've heard of the hugely popular South Beach Diet. The creator, Dr. Arthur Agatston has recently released another book, but the goal this time isn't losing weight -- it's keeping the heart healthy. The South Beach Heart Program emphasizes healthy living over invasive surgery that offers a quick fix to heart troubles. The diet includes a selection of healthy fats, like olive oil, plus healthy, whole grain carbohydrates, fruits and veggies, lean protein and low fat dairy. In addition to the diet, activity, including core-strengthening exercises are emphasized, as well as diagnostic testing -- all aimed at preventing heart problems and maintaining a healthy body.

You only have one heart and it's your most important organ, so you better take care of it!
