Nutritional Superstars

Make it easier for the men and women at your organization to eat with heart health in mind. Hand out “50 Heart-Healthy Superfoods” Bookmarks. Each day of American Heart Month, choose a superfood from the bookmark. Compose suggestions for ways of preparing that item. (Many great articles about this topic are online.) Send these tips out via email. You won’t get through all 50 foods in February, so pick those that might be less common to people. Throughout the month, hold drawings for “Cooking For The Heart” Cookbooks.

Hot Topic

Cholesterol seems to be in the news often, but isn’t always adequately explained. Invite professionals to come and shed some light on the subject by leading a class. Ask them to tell what cholesterol is, where it comes from, and how levels can be managed. In addition, have them address the pros and cons of cholesterol-lowering medications. Give all attendees “6 Steps To
A Healthy Heart” Bookmarks
; they feature recommendations on cholesterol testing. Also hand out Healthy Heart Nutrition & Fitness Guides For Women, which have information about controlling cholesterol through diet and exercise.
