Nourish Your Muscles Lesson Offered

Do you take good care of your muscles? The saying “if you don’t use it, you lose it!” applies to your muscles. Maintenance of your muscles plays a major role in healthy aging.

Nourish Your Muscles will be held at 11 am on Tuesday, January 27 at the Watford City Senior Center at 205 5th Street NW.

Participants of the class will learn what our muscles do, what foods 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.

This lesson is one of a series offered in conjunction with the Nourishing Boomers program. Boomers is a monthly program to provide information and strategies to eat more nutritiously and be more physically active as you can reduce your risk of developing chronic disease.
