Community Lectures

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know about some of the Community Lectures that we have been offering.

One of our patients works with a Lutheran organization that hosts a summer camp for Refugees of many different countries. She invited me to give a lecture on nutrition for the kids. I spoke to the boys one day and the girls the next. I let them know about how their plate should look for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I explained the different food groups and how BAD fast-food and processed food was for them. They were great! They had plenty of questions and really seemed to get it. Children's nutrition is a passion of mine, I think the patterns they develop when they are young can really effect their future habits. With Obesity and Overweight kids on the rise, I find this to be a huge public health concern.
On that note, Our Baby/Toddler Food Class was a success! Our presentation was about the major problems with the Standard American Diet (S.A.D) and how to reverse the trend. My wife taught the practical portion, how to analyze the products you are buying for your kids, how to prepare it, and also went over supplements that your kids need today! Again I love offering these types of lectures to the public, to address a major problem that can be preventable with education.

I look forward to seeing you all at the Health and Fitness Expo. Main street Library, Thurs. 6th 4-7pm. I will be giving my presentation on "Healthy Weight loss"
