Learn how good nutrition can help you age gracefully from a registered dietitian. We’ll explore a range of healthy diet options and how to listen to your body.

About the Event

Celebrate National Nutrition Month by joining AARP for a free virtual presentation on nutrition and healthy aging by registered dietitian Jane Korsberg. This is the first of four programs designed to help you understand the connection between what we put into our bodies and how we feel.

In this session, Jane will explore which diets work and which are the healthiest for weight control by bringing it back to the basics:

Energy balance.
Where calories come from.
Reasons to achieve a healthy weight.
Practical tips for success using SMART goals and the plate method.
Listening to your body and what it’s telling you: hunger vs. satiety.
Mindful eating.

Jane recently retired as president of Nutrition Reality LLC, her private practice, and was formerly a senior instructor at Case Western University.
