Heart Health Lunch and Learn

I presented a Heart Healthy Lunch and Learn for the clients in Estill County in conjunction with February being heart health month.  Cardiovascular is the number one cause of death in the United States despite in most cases being preventable.  Making smart healthy choices, such as exercise, diet, and being tobacco free, is the best way to prevent cardiovascular disease.  Twenty-one people participated in the program and enjoyed a heart healthy meal of Vegetable Turkey Soup, whole grain crackers, Apple Spinach Salad, and Triple Berry Crisp.  Participants learned about signs of a heart attack and 86 percent stated that they could recognize the signs of a hearth attack.  Participants learned about the Dash Diet and recommended amounts of exercise per week.  Ninety percent of the participants plan on incorporating what they learned into their lifestyle.
