Research shows that some nutrients are especially helpful in increasing brain health and reducing the effects of aging on cognitive ability. Though genetics play a role in ongoing brain health, you also have the ability to affect your brainʼs health span with your diet. In the first two classes, our instructor will teach you about specific foods that are full of brain-helpful nutrients and how you can easily add them into your daily menus.

Cooking for Bone Health Parts 3 & 4: September 9 and 11 from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
Both men and women experience a decrease in bone density as we age, increasing the risk of broken bones and frailty. We all know that calcium helps build bone and often rely on dairy products to fill this need. But what if you donʼt consume much milk and cheese, or need to reduce the amount of animal fats in your diet? In these two classes, our instructor will teach you about two foods that are full of calcium and how you can easily add them to your meals. Registration: click here for Part 3; click here for Part 4.
