By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers I just couldn't resist the subject of The French Kiss! I hardly think the French invented it. I imagine we have been doing it since the beginning of time, when it comes down to basics; we are only a cognitive soul in an animal body. Some people may have an aversion to tongue kissing, but I can't imagine a life without the wet, delicious, sensual communication of erotic intent.

How does what I eat affect my heart? The food you eat can affect the way blood flows through your heart and arteries. A diet high in fat and cholesterol can gradually cause a buildup (called "plaque") in your arteries. That buildup slows down the blood flow and blocks small arteries.

The right diet helps keep your arteries clear and reduces the risk of heart problems and stroke
