Treatment through Prevention
As healthcare costs continue to climb nationwide, preventative care has become more important than ever. This means starting with the basics — and as the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, nutrition and healthy eating are an ideal place to begin a journey to improved physical and mental well-being. Cooking With Culbertson will help attendees understand the nutritional challenges they face, like cost of healthy ingredients, lack of knowledge on healthy and flavorful recipes, traditional Midwestern diets, and understanding food labels.
