Upcoming WorkLife sessions to focus on nutrition
October 18, 2012
WorkLife Programs has two upcoming offerings focusing on nutrition, both of which will be presented by Linda Monahan, registered dietitian.
Nutrition and the Life
Cycle
Oct. 25. 12:10-12:50 p.m. Freehafer Hall, Rooms 1-1 and 1-2.
An individual's need for specific nutrients changes over the life span and
can vary according to gender, activity level and growth. On top of that,
certain health conditions and chronic disease also can alter nutritional
requirements. Learn how energy and nutrient needs change over the course of a
lifetime and how you can be proactive to reduce your health risks as you age.
Nutrition for Your
Blood Pressure
Nov. 7. 12:10-12:50 p.m. Stewart Center, Room 313.
According to the CDC, approximately 30 percent of Americans at least 18 years
old have high blood pressure, or hypertension. Medications are often needed to
normalize these levels. However, researchers increasingly report that what we
eat also affects how forcefully our hearts must pump to distribute the blood
throughout our bodies. Come join this class to discover not only the foods that
cause spikes in blood pressure, but also those that optimize every heartbeat by
helping you to keep your blood pressure within normal limits.
