Eating the Mediterranean way is delicious and satisfying!  Eating like those who live in the Mediterranean region has been shown to promote health and decrease the risk of many chronic diseases.

Additionally, eating the Med Way:

• Decreases the risk of some forms of cancer.
• Is more effective than a low-fat diet for weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.
• Protects against cognitive decline by protecting the small blood vessels in the brain.
• May increase eye health including decreasing the risk of macular degeneration.
• Decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Can help manage blood pressure.
• Can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 30-60%.

Learning to prepare and eat the Mediterranean way is easier than you might think.  Consider joining us for a FREE six-week program beginning at the end of June.  The series will be offered every Monday, virtually -using the Zoom platform, starting at 1 p.m.  The program will include class discussion, recipe demonstrations, and other support as needed.  It will be offered as a collaboration through partnering Family & Consumer Sciences Agents throughout the South Central District of North Carolina.  If you cannot attend at 1 p.m., please register anyway so you can receive the class recordings to view at your convenience.
