Live Well! Enjoy Nutrient-Rich Foods
Nutrient Density is the cornerstone of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid.    This program will help you to navigate through MyPyramid and use it as a tool to get the most nutrition out of your calories, make smart choices from every food group, and find your balance between food and physical activity.  Lean beef, a naturally nutrient-rich food, will be discussed and a cooking demonstration will help you to incorporate more nutrient dense foods into your meals.

Heart Healthy Living
This program is packed full of valuable heart-healthy diet and lifestyle information.  Basic facts about cardiovascular risks are discussed, as well as painless steps individuals can take for a positive impact on health.  Participants will gain valuable resources for eating better, increasing activity and reducing stress to lower their risk for heart disease. In addition, beef’s role in a heart healthy diet will be discussed, along with a cooking demonstration, including how to easily select and prepare lean and extra lean beef.

Healthy Kids, Healthy Future
One in five children in the United States is now overweight or obese. Lack of physical activity,
unhealthy eating patterns or a combination of these along with genetics generally causes obesity
in children. Learn how to be a good role model for your child. If your child sees you enjoying
healthy foods and physical activity, he or she is more likely to do the same. Educate and involve
your child to make healthy lifestyle choices. Nutrient-rich meal and snack ideas will be presented
and samples provided.
1-2-3 Toss It or Grill It!
 Tossing meat and veggies in the stir-fry pan or grilling your meats can be a quick and easy way to put dinner on your table!  Learn the ins and outs of stir-frying and grilling to produce quick and healthy meals for you and others.  A cooking demonstration will include how to select and prepare naturally nutrient-rich foods, such as lean beef, for the wok or the grill.
