Wellness Workshops

The Healthy Eating Program for Adults focuses on healthy food choices, exercise, weight-loss and disease prevention. The classes are interactive, with activities and question-answer sessions.

The Healthy Eating Lifestyle Program was designed by experts, including doctors, registered dietitians, and exercise specialists.

The program includes the following sessions:

Healthy Choices and Food Portions
We will discuss the different nutrients in foods and how to include healthy food choices everyday. Information regarding correct serving sizes and portions for foods is also covered.

Eating Out and Eating at Home
Be encouraged to choose better options when eating out at restaurants or fast food places. We give out recipes, talk about a healthy kitchen and provide activities that encourage better choices. We will discuss why breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Food Label Reading
Learn the important facts on packaged foods. We will review the terms on a food label, ingredients, how much fat, sugar, and sodium we need per day, and give out recipes.

Disease Prevention
Learn how to decrease your risk for developing diseases and how to manage pre-existing conditions. Topics covered include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and high cholesterol.
