MUSC Health Presents Wellness Wednesday

When you lead a busy lifestyle, it can be difficult to make healthy eating choices. Over the past several decades, Americans have grown to rely on the convenience of foods prepared outside of the home. Eating food prepared outside of the home environment on a frequent basis has been associated with weight gain and obesity. Evidence has shown that meals away from home tend to be higher in energy density, fat, and sodium, but lower in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protective nutrients such as dietary fibers and antioxidants. Dining out is also 3-4 times more expensive than home cooking.

Healthy meals on the go don’t just happen, you have to make them happen. Join us to learn more about how to prioritize, plan, and prepare your way to a healthy lifestyle. Learn how to build healthy meals and snacks, how to interpret the USDA’s new food label, and secrets to making smarter choices when dining away from home.

Join them for a Virtual Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, September 14th at 12:00 Noon.
