Do You Know About the Libin Women’s CV Health Initiative?
The Women’s Cardiovascular Health Initiative at the University of Calgary’s Libin Cardiovascular Institute focuses on transforming heart health and the health system by addressing knowledge and care delivery gaps through a comprehensive approach to heart health of women across the life cycle.
Why is this important? I’ll give you five reasons you may not be aware of:
- Heart Disease is the number killer of women in Canada. Heart Disease kills more women each year than all cancers together.
- One third of women will die of cardiovascular disease.
- Women’s cardiovascular health is under represented in cardiovascular research. It is also under diagnosed and under treated compared to all the same factors for men.
- Women’s presentation of heart disease symptoms is often different than men’s.
- The gaps in health research and outcomes can be closed with a research and health care institute dedicated to women.
About Bonnie Stern
Bonnie Stern is a culinary hero of mine. I’ve had the pleasure of taking cooking classes with her a few times and they were enlightening. She shares a myriad of ways to enjoy an ingredient while she’s cooking with it. I love that about her. She can do this because…
- She’s written 12 best-selling cookbooks.
- For 38 years, she ran the Bonnie Stern School of Cooking in Toronto.
- She hosted three national cooking shows, and still appears regularly on various television and radio shows across Canada.
- For 17 years Bonnie wrote a weekly column for the National Post and her articles have appeared in many magazines.
Bonnie Stern’s Essentials of Home Cooking won the coveted International Association of Culinary Professionals’ award. She was inducted into the Taste Canada Hall of Fame in 2021 for her contributions to Canada’s food culture.
When Heart Smart and More Heart Smart Cooking came out, I cooked my way through both. They were sponsored by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. And, most importantly, they still contain some of my all-time favourite recipes. I can’t imagine anyone better to inspire women to become truly heart smart!
Are You Coming?
I’ll be at both these events. I will not miss the chance to learn from this master and her vibrant daughter. Will I see you there? I hope so. Learning about ways to improve your cardiovascular health will help you live longer to savour it all. And, you know, I’m all about that. Buy a ticket. Share this widely. Thanks!
