Every February, we celebrate American Heart Month and California walnuts, the versatile and delicious nuts that offer a range of heart-healthy* benefits. It’s a great time to inspire and motivate ourselves and those we love to prioritize heart health as a regular part of our self-care routine. One important way to take care of our heart is by following a heart-healthy* diet. Choosing foods that support heart health, like walnuts, is a great habit. California Walnuts have been certified through the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check program, and through 30 years of research, walnuts have been shown to aid cardiovascular health. Make walnuts a part of your everyday diet to support your heart health all year round!
Heart-Check certification does not apply to research or information unless expressly stated.
February is American Heart Month, a time the nation turns its attention to keeping families and communities free from heart disease, the No. 1 killer of American adult men and women. This federally designated event reinforces the importance of heart health and the need for more research, with a reminder to get families, friends and communities involved. It is a time to raise awareness about heart health and motivate Americans to adopt healthier lifestyles to help prevent heart disease.

Although heart disease has multiple causes, adopting a healthier diet is one of the key actions people can take to combat it. American Heart Month is an ideal period to pause and take stock of food choices and eating behaviors, striving to phase out unhealthy habits and adopt better ones that can be sustained over the long term. And there are heart-healthy foods to be found in nearly every aisle of the grocery store! One great way to start is looking for the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark, which has been guiding shoppers to healthier choices for over 20 years.
