Hi All!

We had an excellent time at our cooking event yesterday. Thank you so much to the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities for attending and the employees of the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center and Mary Haven Rehab facility for helping us host! See these recipes to try them like we did. They were scrumptious! Be on the lookout for more meeting coming up in the future.

As it begins getting cooler and the holidays start creeping up on us, it is good to address how to cope with food cravings. A piece of Halloween candy is a nice treat, but we should refrain from eating the whole jar! See these tips for craving help.

Weekly Nutrition & Wellness Weekly Tips – 8/15/22

It is back to school week for most of us! We should be starting a healthy and consistent routine to ensure a good academic year. Sleep, avoiding sickness, and nutrition are mentioned in the video below. Please, please, children and adults alike, be sure you are getting an adequate breakfast!

I have A LOT of protein drinks and protein coupons here at the Health District if you would like to try these as a quick on-the-go breakfast. Try having your child drink this in the car on the way to school or while waiting at the bus stop. They can also keep these in lockers if they get hungry later in the day. They only need to be refrigerated after opening. If you would like to pick up protein drinks, please let me know when you plan on dropping in, and I will have them ready for you!

Check out additional back to school tips below!
