Keeping a Healthy Heart
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 6:00pm to 7:30pm

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in people who have diabetes. Fortunately, the same change in diet that has been shown to be so effective in turning diabetes around also helps to protect the heart, quite dramatically. Dean Ornish, M.D., was among the first to show that a change in lifestyle could be as effective as and much safer than bypass surgery for those with significant heart disease. There is no time like the present to eat to live. Fortunately, food that is good for you does not have to taste like medicine. In this class, you’ll sample cholesterol-free foods that are full of flavor and health-promoting benefits.

Come hear research-based nutrition information, watch a cooking demonstration and sample some amazing health promoting foods!

Food for Life is an award-winning nutrition education and cooking class program that provides an innovative and evidence-based approach to diet-related chronic diseases.
