February is Quaker Heart Health Month
Quaker is a brand I have grown up with and that I trust as a mom myself. Heart disease is something that runs in my family, so I have to be especially careful with what I feed my family and eat myself. My grandparents on my dad’s side both passed away from heart attacks, as did my grandmother on my mom’s side. So when I hear Quaker promoting Heart Health Month, my ears perk up.
QUAKER AND AMERICAN HEART MONTH
What is Quaker doing to promote American Heart Month? During American Heart Month, Quaker is teaming up with heart-throb Fabio Viviani to energize and inspire women to take action for their hearts. Quaker’s Epic Hot Breakfast video starring Fabio uses light-hearted humor to encourage women to take simple steps, like eating right, to help them take care of their hearts.
QUAKER’S EPIC HOT BREAKFAST VIDEO
What is Quaker’s Epic Hot Breakfast video? In support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, Quaker is inviting women to start their day with a hot heart-healthy breakfast video for fuel to take on their every day adventures. This Valentine’s Day, Top Chef Season 5 Fan Favorite Fabio Viviani uses his charm, humor and culinary expertise to send women a message about the importance of taking care of their hearts. Fabio offers a hot bowl of Quaker Oats as a simple step towards eating right and providing the fuel women need to help get them going.

Kudos to Quaker for promoting heart health! I have always felt an affinity for Quaker products. I will help spread the word about the video!
My kids love oatmeal, and it’s a breakfast that I love for them to eat. I don’t love it myself so much, but I know that it’s good for me so I try to eat it once in a while. Quaker is definitely our choice!
For 2 months I was sick and couldn’t eat hardly anything without pain. Quaker oatmeal kept me alive while I had every test in the book to finally find out my gallbladder had to come out. I lost 30 pounds but gained a love of oatmeal in the process. Now it’s the ultimate comfort food for me.
Taking care of your heart is extremely important. I’m glad Quaker is promoting the importance of that.
