FFL Kickstart: Healthy Blood Pressure

Description

Are you curious to learn how nutrition and our diet are involved in maintaining and restoring health? Want to learn more about a plant-based diet, but not sure how to start? Then the Food for Life Kickstart Your Health series is for you! Healthy Blood Pressure is the seventh class in the Kickstart Your Health 7-week series. Did you know the World Health Organization says high blood pressure is "the most important preventable cause of premature death in developed countries"? The good news is that blood pressure changes can happen quickly when you adopt a healthful plant-based diet. This class will discuss how a plant-based diet can help lower blood pressure within a short timeframe. The Food For Life Kickstart Your Health series introduces participants to a journey toward healthy weight loss, healthy weight maintenance, and an overall healthful and sustainable diet. In this series, we will discuss how incorporating more plants into your diet can not only lead to maintaining a healthy weight without restriction, but can help to lower cholesterol, control diabetes, lower blood pressure, and even boost energy and mood. We will also have virtual cooking demonstrations of some easy plant-based recipes in each class, and you're welcome to cook along at home!
