If you’d like to make some changes in your diet or lifestyle to improve your heart health, the North Dakota State University Extension Service can help. The Extension Office in McKenzie County is holding a class on Wednesday, February 25 at 11 am at the Watford City Senior Center called “Nourish Your Heart for Good Health.” This session will help you learn how to make your diet more heart healthy. Label reading will be included. Lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of heart disease will be discussed and goal setting will be part of your exit plan. Handouts and recipes will be shared. Recipe taste testing will also be held.
This class is part of NDSU Extension’s Nourishing Boomers and Beyond program. The program is designed to provide rural North Dakotans age 50 and older with information and strategies to reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases. However, any adult can benefit from the information.
Nourishing Boomers and Beyond offers classes on a different topic each month. Participants will be able to take part in hands-on activities and discussions, and they’ll receive material such as handouts and healthful recipes to take home.
If you aren’t able to attend a class or want more information on the topic covered in a session, visit the program’s website at http://www.ndsu.edu/boomers. Anyone can sign up for the free monthly newsletter by visiting the website or contacting the McKenzie County Extension Office at 701-444-3451.
