According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of U.S. adults have cardiovascular disease or chronic illness. Research shows nutrition is critical to health. Improving diet can prevent or reverse hypertension, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, while lowering risks of dementia and cancers. This course outlines a proven approach to healthier, longer living.

You'll learn the core principles of the Mediterranean, MIND, and DASH diets -- evidence-based approaches proven to support cardiovascular, cognitive, and overall long-term health.

Learn to identify the key components of a heart-healthy diet and recognize how daily food choices influence the risk of chronic disease.

You will complete the EatSHARP™ Nutrition Assessment Quiz to evaluate your current eating habits and receive personalized, practical recommendations.

With guided instruction and actionable tools, you will develop a tailored nutrition plan that aligns with proven dietary patterns.

Ultimately, you will gain the knowledge and skills to make informed, sustainable food choices that promote lasting wellness, productivity, and disease prevention. By the end of the course you'll be empowered to eat well, live long, and take control of your health through healthy nutrition.

Register by 12 p.m., September 13.
