HCE, U of I Extension present 'Eating Well as You Age'

Eating well does not mean dieting. It is part of a healthy lifestyle, and may be best achieved in small steps. However, as we age, our nutritional needs change and we should focus on nutrient dense choices.

"Eating Well as You Age" is a University of Illinois Extension educational program designed to help participants explore the benefits of healthy eating habits at any age.

The program will teach participants to make appropriate food choices, recognize a healthy lifestyle, be aware of changing nutrient needs, and identify the relationship of food to chronic disease.

This free seminar is provided in cooperation with the Association for Home and Community Education and led by Extension Educators via the Lync system.

It is available on Monday, April 20, from 1:30 to 3 p.m., at two local University of Illinois Extension offices - in Kendall County at 7775B Route 47 in Yorkville, and in Kane County at 535 S. Randall Road, St. Charles.

There is no cost for this workshop, but preregistration is required by Monday, April 13, for materials to be prepared. Seating may be limited.
