Welcome

Heartwise Kitchen blogger Mike BelangerHello and welcome!  I’m Mike, the creator, chef, and bottle washer of the Heartwise Kitchen.  Luckily I’m also the official food taster!

I’m a cardiac patient who lived with congestive heart failure from 2003 until receiving a heart transplant in December of 2015.

I eat a low-sodium, high-veggie, heart-healthy diet and blog about it in the hopes that my experiences and recipes will help other folks with CHF, High Blood Pressure, and Coronary Artery Disease live longer and happier lives through healthy diet and exercise.

For the basics of how I cook and eat with heart health in mind check out A Heart Healthy Diet or simply browse through my recipes to find something delicious to make.

I hope to see you around again soon, and for a long time to come!

– Mike
