Cholesterol Control is a series of four to six classes designed to promote lifestyle behaviors associated with decreased risk of heart disease.  Today, many people are leading busy, fast-paced lives, and frequently eat on the run.  These eating habits often lead to diets high in fat, sodium and calories, possibly resulting in increased risk for major diseases.  Creating a healthy lifestyle can improve one’s overall sense of wellness.  Participants will learn:

  • how lifestyle affects the risk of heart disease
  • strategies for changing eating and exercise habits
  • practical tips for adapting lifestyles.
