Maintaining a strong heart should be a top priority for everyone. Cardio vascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in America. The objective of the cooking classes is to develop proper attitudes towards food and skills in preparing heart healthy meals.
There are many factors that affect body systems such as a person's age, genes, diet, smoking and other bahaviors. Some of these factor we can not control, so let's focus on the ones that we can:
REGULAR EXERCISE - Raising your heart rate through exercise two to four times a week will help to control blood preasure, weight and cardio vascular health.
DIET - Eat more vegitables, grains & fruits in combination with overall reduction in caloric intake will add to health and lower risk factors.
STRESS - Too much stress affects your health in many ways. Effectively controlling how to react to your environment and the behavior of others will help lower your stress level.
HIGH BLOOD PREASURE - Consult your doctor about high blood preasure which is a major factor in maintaining heart health.
SMOKING - Smoking increases your risk for heart disease by 400% !!! May a gainful attempt to stop smoking, it's never easy, but not much that is worth while, is.
As a non profit corporation A FORUM FOR LIFE, INC. also provides private catering for small groups in an effort to raise funds.

Purchase or public possession of alcohol is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 everywhere in the United States. Aside from the fact that you may be breaking the law by using alcohol and/or illicit drugs, if you answered, “yes” to any three of the above questions, you may be at risk for developing alcoholism and/or dependence on another drug.
If you answered, “yes” to five of these questions, you should call A Forum for L.I.F.E., Living In Fulfillment through Education. We are concerned about developing understanding not only the nature of how substance abuse affects the lives of people, but also getting to the root causes for why that person has such a need to change the way they normally feel.
