Do you teach classes for wellness, heart health, diabetes or cardiac rehab? If so, you will want these valuable materials to help individuals lower their cholesterol.
When you need to look your very best now...
Learning objectives and benefits:
The participant will learn:
- What do my "lab results" mean?
- Which foods raise cholesterol?
- What should you eat to keep your blood cholesterol numbers low?
- 5 easy steps you can do to lower your cholesterol after watching our show.
The National Cholesterol Education Program ATP III recommends, "Cholesterol lowering is important
for young, middle-aged, and older adults. 1 out of every 2 men and 1 out of every 3 women
will develop heart disease sometime in their life. Whether you have heart disease or want to prevent
it, you can reduce your risk for having a heart attack by lowering your cholesterol level."
These materials are designed to help all individuals understand their cholesterol numbers and
learn how to lower them using diet and exercise. Based on the most updated information to date
from research, the National Cholesterol Education Program ATP III and the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans.
Your participants will learn how important it is to manage their cholesterol levels to avoid heart disease which is the number one killer of women and men in the United States. Help them keep the quality in all of their years of life and lower their healthcare costs!
Major risk factors are given along with a great online website from NHLBI to check risk.
PLUS they will learn without a doubt about all the foods that raise cholesterol: high cholesterol foods, foods with saturated fat, sugar, coffee without filters, whole dairy foods and tropical oils. All of these items have been shown in studies to raise LDL cholesterol.
But the good news is that they will learn about all the foods that lower cholesterol like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and soy plus margarines and other foods with physterols. Smaller, more frequent meals, fish and soy are all great.
And the show also helps them see what a heart healthy day looks like in food. We go from a delicious high fiber breakfast all the way to dinner with great ideas they can enjoy at home. Heart healthy is very clear and very delicious. Reminders are given for exercise, too.
