According to the National Institute on Aging, making a plan to eat healthy can keep you healthy and active for longer. Join us as Jodie Hofacre explains how to make
smart food choices to prevent diabetes. Some people may think establishing healthy eating habits might be challenging. Learn about healthy nutrition and older adults.
Perhaps some people might wait until the new year to start a new tradition or habit. The good news is, a healthy diet can be started and maintained at any time of the year. Jodie will review the basics about the food groups that can help prevent diabetes and highlight vitamins and minerals that are important for our aging bodies.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.
