About this session
Heart-health nutrition often gets reduced to a list of foods to avoid.
In reality, the bigger picture is about repeated eating patterns: the fats used most often, how much fiber-rich food shows up across the week, where sodium is coming from, how often vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and fish appear, and how food choices fit with the rest of life.
This practical session turns those principles into everyday decisions.
The group reviews familiar meals, compares fats, works through sodium and label examples, builds heart-supportive lunches and dinners, explores fiber and potassium-rich foods, and looks at how alcohol, convenience food, takeout, and changing routines can affect the overall pattern.
The focus is on midlife and beyond, when blood pressure, cholesterol, vascular health, and wider cardiovascular risk often become more relevant. Participants leave with a small number of realistic changes they can apply without turning every meal into a heart-health project.
