Are you eating yor way into heart and blood vessel diseases? If your diet is high in saturated fats, choles- terol and sodium (salt), you may very well be doing so. The American Heart Association and, locally, its Northeast Pennsyl- vania Chapter, want you to know that proper diet and nutrition play a vital role in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes. According to Joan Noto Carro, R.N., Executive Vice President of the Northeast Chapter, the Heart Association considers proper diet and nutrition an integral part of maintaining an overall program of cardiovascular health and empha- sizes this fact during March, which is National Nutrition Month. “Over the years, we have learned that a diet containing excess amounts of saturated fats, choles- terol and sodium produces negative effects,” she said. ‘‘Saturated fats and cholesterol and tend to increase the amount of plaque in the walls of arteries, thereby restricting and often inhibiting blood flow, while too much sodium can cause an increase in a person’s blood pressure.” Mrs. Carro said the Heart Asso- ciation discourages the use of satu- rated fats because these fats tend to harden at room temperature and increase the levels of cholesterol in the blood. Conversely, she said polyunsaturated fats remain in a liquid form at room temperature and can help reduce blood choles- terol levels. “The Heart Association’s goal in the area of diet and nutrition is to educate the public to the point where intelligent choices can be made to improve the nutritional quality of their diets,”’ she said. ‘“‘At the same time, however, we are realistic enough to know that if a diet is bland, unexciting or impossi- ble to maintain, it will soon be discarded.” Mrs. Carro added that in cases where people find an approach to improved nutrition is not to their liking, they often revert back to their original eating habits. “In order to make our nutritional programs effective, the Heart Asso- ciation has put a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring that we offer people the opportunity to choose from all food groups and do not detract from the pleasures of eating,” she said. Mrs. Carro said the Heart Asso- ciation’s nutrition programs include cookbooks developed for various dietary concerns, literature cover- ing aspects of diet and nutrition in relation to heart and blood vessel diseases and a unique cooking course known as ‘Culinary Hearts Kitchen.” : ‘Culinary Hearts Kitchen was originally developed by the Heart Association in New York to instruct cardiac patients on the preparation of meals that are tasty, yet fall within their nutritional guidelines,” she said. ‘‘However, as people become more health conscious and more nutrition-oriented, ‘Culinary Hearts Kitchen’ gained popularity among the general public.” Mrs. Carro said that to learn more about ‘Culinary Hearts Kitchen’ and other Heart Associa- tion nutrition programs, telephone or stop into the Heart Association office nearest you. — SCHOO (Following are cafeteria menus for area school districts for the following week:) WEST SIDE TECH March 27 and April 1 FRIDAY - BREAKFAST - Variety of cereal, orange juice, pumpkin bar, milk.
