Too Much on Your Plate?

(Portion Size and Healthier Lifestyle) Admission: FREE

Saturday, Oct 29 

10am – 12noon


Fruits, grains, vegetables and protein -- each food group plays a role in sustaining our health. So what happens if our bodies are deprived of any one of these food groups or overloaded with another one?

What happens when one of the food groups is stewed, fried, or smothered in gravy? Does it make a difference what time of day I eat or how much I eat before bedtime? The answers to these seemingly insignificant questions can make a world of difference for your health.

Saturday, Oct 29
