Foods for a Healthy Heart

Join me for a Physicians Committee video, handouts, discussion, and plant-based recipe demonstration. 

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and around the world. Eating habits and other lifestyle factors play a key role in determining the risk of heart disease. Plant-based diets benefit heart health because they contain no dietary cholesterol, very little saturated fat, and abundant fiber. Meat, cheese, and eggs, on the other hand, are packed with cholesterol and saturated fat, which cause plaque buildup in the arteries, eventually leading to heart disease. 

The class includes a demonstration and tasting of three heart-healthy recipes.
