The Friends of Odell Pubic Library will offer a program on Healthier Nutrition and Eating Habits on Monday, February 5, 2018, at Odell Public Library, 307 S. Madison Street, Morrison, IL, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Program Room. John Park, a Registered Dietitian from CGH Medical Center, Sterling, IL, will give information and tips to help develop healthier habits.
Good health and nutrition are essential at every stage of life. Lifestyle choices that we make every day have a lasting impact on our overall health and well-being. Poor nutrition can contribute to our everyday stress, tiredness, and ability to work effectively.
According to the United States Bureau of Disease Collaborators, dietary intake was identified as one of the leading contributors to premature death, along with other lifestyle factors. Several of the leading causes of death in the United States today include heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Each of these diseases has a strong positive correlation with nutrition. Following a healthy meal plan can prevent disease and/or significantly reduce the risk.
These are several of the important reasons to not hesitate, but work towards, making healthy changes today. Park will use a PowerPoint presentation to disperse information and healthy eating tips. There is no charge for the program.
