oh snap. that x1 voice remote is crunk! and it lets me search with the sound of my voice. what should i watch? things have come a long way since you got fios. [nervously laughs] what's fios? fios has fallen behind. don't fall with it. xfinity x1 will change the way you experience tv. this first day of february is the start of american heart month. >> as we show, it's a good time to make the lifestyle changes to help prevent heart disease and learn about the risks. >> reporter: americans work hard to stay on top of their financial health. saving money, balancing checking accounts, squirrelling away funds in a 401(k). what about keeping up with heart health? a new survey of a thousand adults from the cleveland clinic

found nearly half know their bank account balance. nearly 38% know their blood pressure numbers. 18% are aware of their body mass index. and just 12% know their level of ldl or bad cholesterol. >> if you can keep all those numbers in a normal range, your chances of getting heart disease are very, very low. >> reporter: a doctor's office can, of course, help you learn all of those numbers. cardiologists also recommend monitoring blood pressure at home. >> you get a good, brand-name blood pressure cuff and use it according to directions, you'll get generally within five points of what your doctor's going to get in their office. >> reporter: other proven ways to help prevent heart disease -- exercise every day, manage stress levels, quit smoking, and eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and heart-healthy fats like nuts and avocados. erica edwards, nbc10 news. and speaking of heart health, the "today" show is making sure you feel your best during national heart month.

this morning "today" show's health and nutrition expert joy bauer is kicking off a three-day series focusing on five foods to eat to keep your heart healthy. >> good morning. today's focus was on eating foods to lower your cholesterol. tell us more about that. >> reporter: that's right. and i love the series because it's all about what you should be eating versus what you shouldn't be eating. when it comes to lowering your close first of all, we went over five foods. the first is apples. apples are great because they have pectin built in to the skin. and pectin helps to mall absorb floating cholesterol. however you like your apples, straight up, with peanut butter, if you want a baked apple, just eat some apples. the second was lentils. lentils is great because it's loaded with protein, it's loaded with fiber, and it usually -- usually it displaces some sort of a fatty beef when you serve it at a meal. i love lentils. avocado was our third food. and avocado's great because it

has the fiber, but it also has heart-healthy fats to increase the good cholesterol. so it improves your overall cholesterol profile. we also went over nutrition sprinkles. you pick them up at the store, they don't have a taste. and you can sprinkle them on yogurt. put them in a smoothie. you can put them in your meatballs if you're joy bauer. don't tell your kids. and they're very versatile. yeah. and actually, the last food was oats. oats -- obviously oatmeal is terrific. oatmeal forms a gel in your body. and then it binds to choleste l cholesterol. it doesn't just have to be oatmeal. there are so many ways that you can prepare oats. i've put it in the food processor, and i pulse until i make oat flour. then use that for pancakes and muffins. you can also throw raw rolled oats into smoothies. and it thickens them up and adds nutrition and, of course, some lowering clegs trol magic, as well.

lots and lots of ideas. >> yeah. i eat oatmeal every morning. my partner here eats everything else you mentioned, on her diet. >> yes, and the chia seeds is in the overnight oatmeal that i make. that's good. >> that's great -- i did an overnight oatmeal, actually on the show this morning. i used cocoa powder, banana, chia seeds, oats, and a little skim milk. i love it because you put it in the mason jar before bed, you shake it up, you wake up in the morning, you open up that fridge, and it's waiting for you. so delicious. >> before you go, tomorrow you're going to talk about foods that will improve your blood pressure. are they different foods or some of the same ones that you just mentioned? >> reporter: totally different foods. so tomorrow we're going to go over the foods that can lower your blood pressure. and then on friday i'm going to talk about foods that can help melt belly fat. >> we will be watching all of it -- >> stay tuned. >> we will definitely. thank you very much. >> bye-bye. thank you.

>> all right. see you tomorrow morning. you can catch joy's "healthy heart" series all this week on the "today" show here on nbc10. >> thanks. all about the smoothies. you can blends stuff out we'll real -- you can blend stuff out without realizing you have the healthy stuff in there. that's where it's at. the blue rock stadium, you see cloudy conditions, that's what we'll expect rest of. partly cloudy to mostly cloudi. be a lot of rain. that's out of reach for the viewing area. instead, mild conditions. if you stepped out, you noticed it feels good for the 1st day of february. radar and satellite shows the cloudy, the gray that you see overlaying in the area. this green you see that's creeping in to parts of the shore, some rain making it to the ground. sometimes radar will have a false return. it's not rain at the surface. checking ground observations, i don't see anything falling. you can tweet me if you see anything, but i don't think this is rain making it to the ground.

49 degrees. 47 here, through the suburbs, mostly upper 40s. mid to upper 40s, as well, for the lehigh valley. areas like easton in the mid 40s and mostly cloudy through the rest of today. near the poconos, we may be able to see a little rain/snow mix passing by this afternoon. in trenton, 47 degrees. voorheis, up to 49. the same as hammonton. ocean city, 48. the upper 40s to around low 50s for delaware, as well. the big drop doesn't hit until the weekend. tomorrow will be back to average. around the low 40s. friday, 34 degrees philadelphia, that's the high temperature. we're starting a lot colder in the morning and get colder at night, as well. 32 in the suburbs. only 29 for the high in the lehigh valley. you see about the same for the jersey shore. delaware. and nearly a mirror image on saturday. the only distances, we're -- only gives is we're totally sunny saturday. won't feel toasty as you get out. you'll need the extra layers. sunday, super bowl sunday, that's when you may need an

umbrella. we're at 39 degrees in philadelphia. cool enough so that we may see a rain/snow mix. we've been tracking models looking at the storm systems that track our way. and it's starting to look less and less impressive. meaning that if you'll be driving better conditions on the roadways. 43 in the lehigh valley. and a little more areas like delaware and the shore in the low 40s where we may see at least light rain pass through. let's look at the ten day on 10. there's the temperatures we were talking about. dropping thursday, 40. the low 30s for your weekend. and then as we go into your next week, temperatures pick back up. 60 by wednesday. we'll be right back.
