BETHEL — Cathi DiCocoa, local professional chef, celebrates National Nutritional Month with a program on “Supermarket Strategies” to be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Bethel Congregational Church hall, 32 Church St. The public is invited and admission is free.
The theme of National Nutrition Month 2015 is “Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle,” and DiCocoa will help the audience make informed food choices by taking them on a “trip to the supermarket.”
She posed the question: “How do you go in a grocery store and make it work for you?” She said grocery stores are designed in a certain way with the healthiest food on the outside aisles. She will explain how to negotiate the aisles; eat healthy and affordably; choose organic or non-organic; compare store and name brands; and check supermarket labeling.
She added, “Never go to the store hungry and always bring a list.”
DiCocoa also plans to give a food demonstration with samples and recipes available. Among her handouts, she will include the newest regulations on food labeling and what foods should always be eaten organic.
To Your Health is sponsored by Western Mountains Senior College with the collaboration of the Bethel Family Health Center and MSAD 44/Continuing Education.
The next program, “Joyful Living” with Ellen Crocker, Jewel Clark and Sharon Swanson, will be held on April 9 at the Bethel Congregational Church.
