In an era of constant headlines about individual nutrition studies, it’s easy to lose sight of the broader, evidence-based guidance for heart health. This session will clarify current major recommendations and the research behind them — focusing on dietary patterns that support healthy blood lipids and blood pressure. We’ll also explore how a spectrum of plant-forward eating patterns align with these goals and examine practical, real-world strategies to bring these principles to life. Whether supporting institutional menus, counseling patients and residents, or responding to questions from staff and families, you’ll come away with insights and language you can use right away…without the overwhelm.
