Trinity women's seminar on heart disease, diabetes and stroke - Quad Cities

Don't let them give you the generic eat healthy, exercise, blood pressure reduction, take care of cholesterol blather. Ask why they don't give you specific risk reduction steps like these 11 referenced and specific ideas.
And why don't they tell you about the 50% reduction of a marijuana bud a day?
Then you need to redirect the discussion to exactly what they are doing to prevent the neuronal cascade of death in the first week. My 30 actions in the immediate aftermath of my next stroke.
You have to put them on the spot and prove to them they know nothing about stroke prevention and rehab.

UnityPoint Health – Trinity will host "Recipes for a Healthy Lifestyle: Wholehearted Health," from 6-7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 6, at Trinity Rock Island in conference room 1.

The seminar will address common risk factors as well as what participants can do to reduce them.

During the seminar Trinity's Corporate Chef Tyler Roux will prepare heart-healthy food and Trinity Dietitian Jeni Tackett will discuss how to eat for a healthy heart. Dr. Sanjeev Puri, cardiologist with Cardiovascular Medicine, P.C., Illinois, will present current information on diagnosis of and treatment options for heart disease.
