The High Desert offers many environmental challenges for our eyes. Dry air, glare from the sun, wind and smoke from wildfires can all take a toll while enjoying outdoor activities or the beautiful scenery. Increase your knowledge and awareness of strategies to help promote eye health by participating in the Nourishing Your Eyes interactive workshop at the Oregon State University Extension Deschutes county office in Redmond. The session will be on Thursday, September 6, from 9am to noon. The class fee is $10. Class size is limited.
Participants will learn about foods that promote eye health in the lesson with hands-on activities and discussions, recipe preparation and sampling. The lesson includes handouts and healthful recipes to take home. Additionally, this class meets the Health Engagement Model (HEM) health education requirement for some insurance companies.
This Program may also help you:
-Cope with and relieve stress
-Learn ways to stretch your food dollars and still serve tasty, nutritious meals.
-Get reliable, research-based information to help sort out fact from fiction in your health information.
