Course Description:

As a rehabilitation professional, understanding the nutrition requirements for heart health can help you identify patients who would benefit from dietary changes and support them in incorporating these changes into their lifestyles. In this course, learners will review the nutritional needs of older adults, evidence-based recommendations to achieve a heart-healthy diet, and how to reinforce the teaching provided by the dietitian to support patients in their health and wellness goals.

The goal of this course is to provide rehabilitation professionals with an understanding of older adults’ nutritional needs and how to promote a healthy heart diet.
