Is Your Diet Heart Healthy?

Despite claims that many foods and diets are heart healthy, a new study by researchers from McMaster University published in Archives of Internal Medicine clarifies what foods and dietary patterns are best for reducing the risk of heart disease.

The researchers evaluated almost 200 studies on diet and heart disease over more than 50 years and found overall there are certain food groups or dietary patterns that are beneficial including vegetables, nuts, monounsaturated fatty acids, and overall ‘healthy’ dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet which incorporates generous amounts of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, such as olive and canola oil, small portions of nuts, red wine in moderation, very little red meat and fish on a regular basis. They also conclude that there's strong evidence that high GI foods and trans fatty acids are harmful.

Weight Management

Our weight management classes embrace the Low Glycemic way of eating which is accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It also encourages moderate exercise and proper supplementation.

To get the full benefit of the system it is recommended that you attend a 12-week class. Studies have shown that having a coach greatly increases your chances for success whether you're trying to lose weight, gain weight or just be assured that what you're currently doing is correct.

I teach from a variety of local north Puget Sound business locations making it easy to incorporate the classes into your busy lifestyle.
