Dive into heart health: Free ‘DASH’ diet webinar for registered dietitians
Interested in learning about heart health to prevent or manage cardiovascular disease? Registered dietitians can earn one credit of continuing professional education units for free during a Penn State Extension webinar, “Exploring the DASH Diet to Lower Your Blood Pressure,” that will take place from noon to 1 p.m. Feb. 2.
This session is designed for nutrition professionals who want to learn about a heart-healthy eating style called Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, also known as the DASH eating plan. Organizers explained that this diet is balanced, flavorful, flexible and requires no special foods.
For example, the plan recommends:
— Eating vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
— Choosing fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, poultry, beans, nuts and vegetable oils.
— Cutting back on foods that are high in saturated fats, such as red meats, full-fat dairy products, and tropical oils such as coconut, palm kernel and palm oils.
— Choosing foods that are lower in sodium.
— Limiting sweets and sugar-sweetened beverages.
Penn State Extension offers this webinar free of charge. However, participants must register by noon Feb. 2 to receive the link to access the webinar. Registrants also will receive access to the webinar recording.
