Cardiovascular Care for Cholesterol Control: Mastering Heart-Healthy Meals

Maintaining a healthy heart is vital, and the food you eat plays a significant role in reducing the risk of heart disease and managing cholesterol levels. Our Cardiovascular Care: Eating for a Healthy Heart & Low Cholesterol cookery class at The Cooking Academy helps you take control of your heart health by teaching you how to prepare meals that nourish your cardiovascular system. Whether you’re managing an existing heart condition or simply looking to lower your risk of heart attacks in the future, this class is for you.

With so much advice available, it can be overwhelming to know what to eat and how to put it into practice. That’s where we come in. Led by Kumud Gandhi, a leading food scientist and nutritionist, this class explains the science behind how your body processes food and its impact on vital organs like your heart. You’ll learn about the ingredients to include for a strong heart—lean proteins, healthy fats, and fibre-rich foods—as well as what to avoid to prevent clogged arteries and poor circulation.

More than just a cooking class, this is an opportunity to gain practical skills and knowledge, making heart-healthy eating an enjoyable part of your lifestyle. Join us to learn how to cook delicious, heart-friendly meals that help you live longer and feel better.

These dishes are designed to support heart health and promote long-term cholesterol management.
