My hubby had a heart attack a month ago so I feel your pain. I did find that if I put a bit of balsamic vinaigrette on them at the table, they are a little more palatable.

ohhh I had the same dilemma with my hubby - I turned to the spice aisle in the grocery and found a wide variety of neat things - so I started trying out all sorts of stuff - I ended up really liking Mrs. Dash's products - seems like there is a spice for everything with Mrs. Dash! No salt and it's heart healthy and adds wonderful flavor!!! Along with Smart Balance (check out the ingredients on this brand - it was recommended by the hubby's heart doctor) butter mixed in to the veggies - you have a great combination!!! I hope this helps!

do you have a steamer? you can put cilantro or any other herb in the water to add flavor while steaming. if you don't have a steamer, you should get one, it gives you many healthy ideas and is great for making fresh veggies instead of buying frozen, but also great for frozen.
4 :
Warm them with a chicken broth and garlic. Or add lemon pepper.

There are frozen veggies that come in steamer bags that taste absolutely amazing. Trust me: i really don't like vegtables, but the ones that come in the steam bags I LOVE. Specially the corn and carrots. yummm! â™¥ answer mine please? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am0PUtIweK_RhaYMwv1MHgTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091111175233AAWV9fL
6 :
Cook them with olive oil and lots of garlic. Olive oil is a heart healthy fat and garlic goes well with it

Current info is for 2005 Total Cardiovascular Disease Mortality 2005++ Both sexes = 864.5 K Women - 454.6 K in 2009 the estimated deaths for females with breast cancer is 40,170 (death rates lowering 2% a year due to women not taking HRT any more) - - - - - - This info was from 1997 - Heart disease currently is the number one cause of death of women, taking the lives of more than 500,000 women a year (McFadden 405). Breast cancer also finds itself as a leading killer of women today. Each year, 180,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 46,000 die from complications (McFadden 407) Cancer falls in as the second leading cause of death among women. Although much attention is focused on cancer of the reproductive system, lung cancer actually accounts as the most prominent cancer in women, killing 46,000 women a year (McFadden 407). McFadden, Margaret, ed. Women's Issues. Salem Press: California, 1997 - - - - - - (this does not break down into sexes though) Final 2006 statistics for the United States show that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single leading cause of death in America. * From 1996 to 2006 the death rate from coronary heart disease declined 34 percent, but the actual number of deaths declined only 19 percent. * Mortality â€” 425,425 deaths in the United States in 2006 (about one of every six deaths). * Incidence â€” 1,255,000 new and recurrent coronary attacks per year. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Atherosclerotic Risk in Communities [ARIC] Study and Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). About 34 percent of people who experience a coronary attack in a given year die from it. * Prevalence â€” 17,600,000 victims of angina (chest pain due to coronary heart disease), heart attack and other forms of coronary heart disease are still living (9,200,000 males and 8,400,000 females). * Estimates are that 10,200,000 people in the United States suffer from angina. * An estimated 500,000 new cases of stable angina occur each year. (Framingham Heart Study, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) * The estimated age-adjusted prevalence of angina in women age 20 and older was 4.5 percent for non-Hispanic white women, 5.4 percent for non-Hispanic black women and 4.8 percent for Mexican-American women. Rates for men in these three groups were 4.7, 4.0 and 2.9 percent, respectively.* * Among adults in the United States age 20 and older, the estimated age-adjusted prevalence of coronary heart disease for non-Hispanic whites is 9.4 percent for men and 6.9 percent for women; for non-Hispanic blacks, 7.8 percent for men and 7.8 percent for women; and for Mexican-Americans, 5.3 percent for men and 6.6 percent for women.* *Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003â€“06), National Center for Health Statistics and NHLBI.

Way more of Heart disease. Breast cancer is curable in about 90% of cases these days.
4 :
I must comment, that many women who have breast cancer suffer heart disease through complications of metastatic breast cancer. My mom in law just died from stage 4 breast cancer, and she had "water on the heart" when she died.

KEY FACTS * CVDs are the number one cause of death globally: more people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause. * An estimated 17.1 million people died from CVDs in 2004, representing 29%of all global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.2 million were due to coronary heart disease and 5.7 million were due to stroke. * Low- and middle-income countries are disproportionally affected: 82% of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries and occur almost equally in men and women. * By 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die from CVDs, mainly from heart disease and stroke. These are projected to remain the single leading causes of death. The largest percentage increase will occur in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The largest increase in number of deaths will occur in the South-East Asia Region.
