The Meskwaki Diabetes Program hosted a Heart Health Month Lunch & Learn session today at noon at the Meskwaki Recreation Center. Community members gathered during National Heart Health Month to learn about heart healthy nutrition and practical tools for everyday wellness.
The presentation was led by Susie Roberts, RDN, LD, Meskwaki Health Clinic Dietitian, who shared information on good fats versus bad fats, watching sodium intake, increasing fiber, and understanding key health numbers such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol. Community members asked many valuable questions, helping encourage discussion and shared learning throughout the session.
Participants enjoyed a nutritious lunch of chicken breast atop a tossed salad, served with fresh fruit. Attendees also received recipes, informative handouts, and cooling towels featuring the Meskwaki Diabetes and Meskwaki Recreation logos.
Stay tuned for upcoming Lunch & Learn events and take part in future sessions.
