Movember is an annual event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November to raiser awareness of men's health issues. There's a saying that goes "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," but the way to a man's health might start there too.

Jodi Vander Meer, a registered dietitian nutritionist from Meijer, joins the Fox 17 Morning Mix to share a couple recipes showcasing tomatoes, a power-food for heart health.
