THE HAPPY PEAR HEALTHY HEART PROGRAM

PREVENTING AND REVERSING HEART DISEASE THROUGH

THE SIMPLE APPLICATION OF EFFECTIVE DIET AND LIFESTYLE

Heart disease kills one out of every three people in the USA while, according to the CSO, 28% of Irish people die from heart-related illnesses. Heart disease has touched everyone’s life in some form – we all know someone who has died of a heart attack or stroke. But there is good news. Leading science has now conclusively proved that good diet and a healthy lifestyle not only prevents heart disease but actually reverses it.

We are running a five-week healthy heart program to help people develop effective diet and lifestyle routines aimed at preventing or reversing heart disease (and other degenerative diseases.) There are no drugs involved; this is simply about good diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Participants will undergo a specific diet during the course – but we guarantee they won’t feel deprived! Full meal plans and recipes will be provided and explained over each week of the course. The effectiveness of the program depends on how well participants stick to the regime. On the first evening, and the last, a nurse will test the blood cholesterol of attendees using a simple pinprick blood test. We will use the results to show how diet and lifestyle can lessen the dangers of heart disease.

The course starts on Thursday, September 9th, at 8pm and will continue on each Thursday evening for the following four weeks. Each class will last about 90 minutes. They will take place upstairs in The Happy Pear.

What can participants expect?

• a fall in their cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides)
• to lose excess weight
• increased energy levels
• increased sense of wellbeing
• to understand why what you eat has such a massive effect on your health
• to understand the latest (and widely accepted) science behind this program and,
• to learn new healthy recipes that you try out on the program!

Who should attend?

• anyone with high cholesterol
• anyone worried about heart disease, strokes or angina
• anyone concerned by a loved one’s health or lifestyle
• anyone with heart disease who wants to arrest it

Who is presenting the course?

The Flynn Twins! They have run more than 50 health education nights. Both walk their talk and practice what they preach, that ‘you are what you eat’. Both have been studying the links between diet, lifestyle and health for the past seven years. David has a Certificate in Plant-based Nutrition from leading US institution Cornell University. There will also be guest lectures from local GP Dr Sam McManus.

Cost of program €95 + €30 for two pinprick cholesterol tests (before and after – normally costing €50)
