\u00a0This is a sponsored post for Review Wire Media on behalf of CocoaVia.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Last summer, my Mom had a consultation at the Mayo Clinic and within hours of her visit, she was checked into the hospital and scheduled for an emergency heart valve replacement. I flew out to see her, as it was truly touch and go. Mom struggled for breath, as congestive heart failure causes the lungs to ‘flood’ with fluid. She stoically reflected that she should have made better lifestyle choices in life<\/em>.\u00a0 Her food choices were due to convenience,\u00a0 not nutritional value and exercise was a chore, not an enjoyment. I’ve led a healthy lifestyle, but seeing her there desperate for a second chance, made me realize that EVERY DAY we have a chance to do better and improve our heart health. Thankfully Mom was given that second chance with a successful surgery and is now feeling great. She’s also making better food choices, like having oatmeal for breakfast instead of a daily pastry (or two).\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the continuation of celebrating Heart Health Month<\/strong>, I’m featuring products and recipes that support cardiovascular function and healthy blood pressure. My new fav is CocoaVia – a plant-based supplement that has been clinically proven to improve heart and brain health by increasing blood flow and \u00a0helping deliver oxygen &nuttients throughout the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It’s also ingredibly easy to add to beverages or food, so we’ve been enhancing our oatmeal breakfasts with CocoaVia powdered mix packets. My husband and I have noticed an improvement in our energy levels when doing our daily ‘hill routine’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cocoa flavanols in <\/span>CocoaVia \u2122 supplement\u00a0<\/a><\/span>have been shown to promote healthy blood flow \u2013 ensuring that\u00a0 vital organs like your heart and brain remains nourished and can perform at their best, every single day. Scientific studies have shown that cocoa flavanols increase nitric oxide levels in your body. Why do we care? Because nitric oxide is a super-molecule that helps relax arterial walls, supporting healthy blood pressure and helping your heart pump oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood throughout your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s how cocoa flavanols, the powerful plant-based nutrient in CocoaVia\u2122, are able to keep your body nourished and performing at its best..\u00a0 High-flavanol cocoa extract is the key ingredient in CocoaVia, and thanks to the Cocoapro\u00ae process, these supplements contain the highest level of cocoa flavanols per serving available today.\u00a0 CocoaVia \u2122 uses the freshest cocoa beans possible to make this extract and gently processes the beans to preserve their valuable flavanols and guarantee the highest quality possible. In fact, CocoaVia \u2122 is one of the few companies that can actually trace their beans back to the Indonesian farmers who grow the cocoa. I love accountability!<\/span><\/p>\n
