Description
Cardiovascular disease kills more people than all cancers combined and is the No. 1 cause of death and disability in the United States. One in three American adults (total 73 million people) has high blood pressure. One is every six Americans age 20 or older has high cholesterol. And, anyone suffering from high cholesterol or hypertension is at a heightened risk for heart disease.If you are South Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepalese), then you are four times more likely to get a heart disease than your non-South Asian friends.
Do you love to cook and experiment with Indian cooking at home? You can learn how to make healthier versions of your traditional Indian favorites using Amrit.
The event will make you aware of how diet can affect heart disease risk factors and help you understand how you can modify one to affect the other.
Before the event, find more information about this cookbook, read the story of how one person controlled his heart disease risk factors through a lifestyle change, and find heart-health resources for yourself at: http://www.AmritForHeart.com
