10/8/22 - Healthy Holiday Eating

The goal for this class is to learn eating strategies that range from Halloween to New Year's Eve, and every holiday in between. Yes, you can enjoy traditional family foods, holiday cookies, partieswhile still eating well, being pleased with your food choices, and feeling great.

11/12/22 - Beloved Carbs

How should we think about, and manage, those carbohydrates we all love? "Carbs" is a nutrient category that covers a lot of ground: starchy foods, fruits, vegetables, desserts, sweet coffee beverages, grains, to name several. We know that excess carbs can contribute to common and serious health problems, yet some carb-rich foods are fantastic for health! We will discuss all of this, and ways to set limits when your daily carb intake is veering out of control.

Presented by Judy Palken, a registered dietitian, who provides the information and guidance to help you make effective and healthful dietary changes.
