Introduction

We often think of heart disease as a man's disease yet it kills more women than breast cancer. Menopause seems to be a key factor in the change in heart disease risk. Understanding how to look after your heart and circulatory health is just as important for a woman as a man. This course will:

  • Explain the changes in heart risk for women post menopause

  • Give tips on what to eat to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure

  • Explain the principles of the Mediterranean way of eating
