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.”
