What a great group of bloggers! Yee ha! Ruth at Eating Fabulous has bought her first bottle of rice bran oil. And apparently, this type of oil is suppose to help promote cardiovascular health. I will have to check my local store, but my guess is I will have to travel to a health type grocer. It might be worth it though! Healthbolt’s Sara blogged about the new bioabsorbable heart patch that is being used to help heal patent foramen ovale, “hole in heart”, and dissolves within 30 days. Amazing stuff right there! Also, Kristen at Lively Women and Scott at Health and Men offer up some great hearty info. Ahh, so many blogs, so little time, haha. Share This (S...
