Older Adults Encouraged To Join Wellness Program

Adults 50 years of age and older are encouraged to join the “Nourishing Boomers and Beyond” program to learn strategies to eat more nutritiously and be more physically active.

The first of nine monthly programs offered will be “Nourish Your Muscles” held at 10 am on Monday, January 27 at the Alexander City Hall or at 10 am on Tuesday, January 28 at the Connie Wold Wellness Center Conference Room. Participants will learn about the function of their muscles, what nutrients are important for good muscle health and what foods are good sources of protein and carbohydrate. Physical activity and its importance in muscle health will be included as well as making plans to impact muscle health in the future.

Taste testing, trying out exercises, recipes and discussions will be included.

Interested individuals are asked to preregister for the sessions by calling the McKenzie County Extension Office at 701-444-3451 or e-mailing [email protected].
