Description

Great food and the holidays go hand in hand. The Fort Wayne Urban League is offering free healthy meal preparation. Integrative Nutritionist Kelley Marvin from Inspired Nutrition will lead the class. “This is going to be fun,” said Marvin. “Participants will get a practical lesson on how to prepare healthy, tasty meals that are not loaded with sugar and fat. What I am going to offer will open people up to recipes and ideas they may not have tried before, and they’ll have an active hands-on role in their own food preparation.” Renowned medical expert, author, and lecturer Dr. Rudy Kachmann from the Kachmann Mind Body Institute is sponsoring the class. “Our goal is to enlighten residents about simple ways to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet,” said Dr. Kachmann. “It’s not hard and we’re going to teach people how they can change their lives for the better.” Participants will also hear the inspirational story of a woman who overcame diabetes after changing her diet. Pam Lapsley will share her struggles with kidney failure. The class is part of the health and wellness initiative the Fort Wayne Urban League is embracing. “We held a Run/Walk and Health Fair earlier this year to emphasize the importance of exercise,” said Fort Wayne Urban League President Terra Brantley. “Exercise and good nutrition go hand in hand. This class is going to show people how to cook healthy not just for the holidays but for any day. What we put in our bodies is directly linked to our overall well-being.” Those in the class will take home the meals they prepare, and door prizes will be handed out. Space is limited for the free Happy Healthy Holidays class. Registration is required. For more information contact the Fort Wayne Urban League at 260-745-3100.
