Healthy Basics | The Power Plate

As many in our communities are overweight and sick, suffering from preventable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer, healthful dietary choices can promote a healthy weight and other health benefits, and surprisingly also be less expensive than many nutrient-poor processed food products. This session’s goal is to empower us to better understand that health-promoting foods, recipes, and meals can be easy, convenient, affordable, and taste great! Attendees will gain practical skills and tips that can actively help make meals healthful and delicious.

This class will focus on general concepts behind healthful eating habits by providing the knowledge and resources for trying out a new way of eating. The Power Plate is a diagram that illustrates the essential food groups: vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruits. As participants, you will be able to think about healthy, more empowering food choices and meals you can eat to best promote your health and the health of your family. Join us today!
