Success at the Senior Center

Author: Kacy Wiley

Planning Unit: Bourbon County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Healthy Choices for Everybody was conducted at the Bourbon County Senior Citizens Center by the Nutrition Education Program Assistant.  There was a total of 5 adults who completed the series of 7 lessons.   The topics focused on food safety, planning healthy and affordable meals, reading food labels, making better beverage choices, and eating more fruits and vegetables with a focus on MyPlate.

100% of those who completed showed improvement in one or more diet quality indicators.  Also, 100% showed improvement in one or more physical activity behaviors and one or more food safety practices.  One participant commented “I love all the recipes we have gotten to taste.  I have been able to save money at the grocery store because now I know that I already like these food items.”
