We've all been there, those days when we're feeling really low, its our time of the month or we've just ate a ton and feel bloated and not so sexy. A lot of us turn to the internet to calculate our BMI, get healthy eating tips or to get some info on the latest exercise breakthrough.

The Health Benefits of Pets in our Lives

Because of this, the American Heart Association has included molasses, as well as other Omega-3 fatty acid foods like salmon, in its list for essential foods needed for heart health.
