Nutrition cant be found from a drive-thru window. Wellness begins with the food items placed in a grocery cart. Eating fresh, whole foods from the grocery store or a local farmers market can be the difference between feeling energized or sluggish all day. But in our microwave society, often packaged and processed food becomes a cheap-and-easy substitute for nourishment. A healthy cooking class can inspire creativity in the kitchen through simple recipes anyone can prepare. The free or low-cost classes empower attendees with knowledge about healthier, more natural alternative to meals found in plastic packages, cans, or the frozen food section. A few discerning choices, coupled with basic preparation skills, can promote lifelong wellness and happiness.
