June in the Bay Area brings a burst of fresh flavor: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are in peak season.
Farmers’ markets and local groceries overflow with color and taste— a perfect time to savor berries at their best, fresh from local fields or a short trip away.

Feast and Finesse: Mastering Nutrition in Aging

Online webinar

Wednesday, February 26, 10:00-11:15 AM

Do you still savor your meals? Is eating after 60 the same as it was in our 20's? Do you understand what nutrients you need in your diet now or why you might have changes in your appetite? Why does every bite matter now? Can we still indulge? Has your relationship with food changed over the years?

Join us to discuss these ideas and to learn:

  • the different nutrient needs we have after 60
  • the consequences of unintentional malnutrition
  • how every bite matters, every bite counts
  • how to have a balanced approach while finding pleasure and joy in the food you eat and the choices you make

Speakers:

Zaw Wai Htoo, University of California Cooperative Extension, Community Nutrition and Health Advisor, San Francisco North Bay

Jenna Ray, Senior Nutritionist Marin County Area Agency on Aging

 

Hosts: Sara Robinson, Age and Disability Friendly San Anselmo Pati Stoliar, Age-Friendly Corte Madera
