To increase awareness of healthy lifestyles and promote healthy diets during American Heart Month, Porter Health Care System will present a free Healthy Heart Diet class from 1 to 2:30 p.m., Feb. 17. This class provides instruction on how to read food labels and choose heart-healthy food, along with teaching basic heart healthy food preparation tips.
Those with other health ailments will find the class beneficial to their dietary needs as well. “The class not only covers guidelines for heart patients and those seeking weight loss, but also compliments those on a diabetic diet, which encompasses decreased saturated fats, cholesterol and trans fats and a moderate intake of sodium,” she said.
For more information on the Healthy Heart Diet class and to pre-register for the class, call 219-983-8874.
