from Eating for Energy
We have delivered over 1500 fun, practical
and educational sessions to various groups from children to seniors.
Some of the sessions we offer include:
Fueling the Body and Mind of your Teen
Healthy eating on a regular basis can improve energy,
academic performance, self-esteem, mood and health. Food is fuel for
our bodies and our minds. It is the source of nutrients not only for
growth and repair but for fighting disease and maintaining homeostasis.
Leading by example and creating an environment that supports healthy
eating on a regular basis is integral in creating a solid foundation
for healthy eating habits in the future. This session will teach you
not only what to eat, but when, why and how to do it. It will also discuss
warning signs for eating disorders.
Issues in Feeding Children
As children grow they develop new
feeding skills, their tastes change and they acquire
the ability to express their preferences. All of these
milestones and many others in your child’s life
create new issues in feeding children. Learn how to
meet these challenges with support, openness and excitement,
how to foster a positive feeding relationship and how
to promote the best foundation for healthy eating habits
in the future. Discover great ideas for feeding a busy
family and how to meet the nutritional needs for children
of all ages. Come armed with your own questions and
challenges!
