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!
