Free Nutrition Workshop at the Library!
The Aston Public Library will host a free workshop with Dr. Kevin Wilkins, a local Chiropractor, on Saturday, May 14th, 2011 at 10AM-
Well… what can I eat? Healthy Choices in the Modern World.
One month the media says it’s all about the carbs if you want to lose weight. Next week Dr. Oz says to eat organic leafy vegetables. Last year everyone said High Fructose Corn Syrup is poison but someone on the news said it’s the same thing as table sugar. Diet soda or regular? Coffee or green tea? Whole grain or no grain?
It seems every couple of months there is a new study or new expert championing the next holy grail of health. Come find out what foods to avoid, which ones to consume, the best times to consume them, and how to decipher a food industry that is “selling health” at the expense of your own.
