	Your Health
	SMILE! Laughter is the medicine for your heart. Did you know? A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts the abs and even works out the shoulders, leaving muscles more relaxed afterward. It even provides a good workout for the heart.

	GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER : the link between gum disease and heart disease
	What does the health of your mouth have to do with your overall health? In a word, plenty. Research over the past two decades has found that chronic gum disease may contribute to the development of heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death in both men and women. How does this happen? Gum disease is a bacterial infection that can affect conditions outside your mouth Studies indicate that the most common strain of bacteria in dental plaque can enter the bloodstream where they attach to the fatty deposits in the heart blood vessels and contribute to clot formation. When blood clots escape into the bloodstream, they can obstruct normal blood flow, restricting the amount of nutrients and oxygen required for the heart to function properly. This may lead to heart attacks and other heart illnesses. Who is at risk? Please Click Here to read on.

	Heart-Healthy Meals
	*Tuscan tuna salad with arugula* Replace mayonnaise with heart-healthy olive oil for a superb tuna salad.
	1 (12 ounce) can solid white albacore tuna in water, drained and broken into large chunks 1 rib celery, chopped 1/4 red onion, minced 1/4 cup pitted nicoise olives, chopped 1 tbsp capers, rinsed (optional) 3-4 marinated artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and chopped 3-4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest juice of 1/2 a lemon 2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon leaves 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves 1 cup arugula leaves
	To mellow the taste of the minced onion, soak in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Combine all ingredients, except arugula. Toss to blend the flavours. Season, to taste, with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (very little salt is needed since the olives and capers are salty). Can be made 24 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Serve on bed of arugula, with thick slices of whole grain bread. Serves 2-4
