Nutrition Series: Med Instead of Meds

Happy National Med Month!

Whether you are new to healthy eating or you are interested in diving in and renewing your progress, this series is for you! The Mediterranean eating pattern is backed by long-term scientific studies indicating this eating pattern reduces risk and helps to control chronic conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancers, and more. This series will teach you how to make healthy choices, focus meals around fruits and vegetables, incorporate whole grains and lean proteins, while choosing healthy fats, herbs, and spices to make your foods both healthy and delicious!
