The Grundy County Health Department and Hy-Vee will hold a Lunch and Learn from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 29 in conjunction with the Green Hills Wellness Challenge.
The event is free and open to the public regardless of their participation in the wellness challenge and will be held at the health department. A light lunch will be served, however participants are asked to RSVP to the health department, 359-4196 by Friday, Feb. 26 to ensure they will receive lunch. The event is designed to be a drop-in event where participants will be able to learn about the foods they eat and what is really in them from a nutritional standpoint. An example of this would be looking at the calories and fat in a serving of casserole, where many ingredients are combined together, making it hard to estimate what you are eating. There will also be a table set up to look at portion sizes of different foods. To get the most out of the class, participants are asked to bring with them a favorite recipe that they would like to know more about. Hy-Vee Dietician Cindy Eivins, MS, RD, LD, CDE will be on hand for this event as well.
