Learn how eating the right foods can improve your memory, mood and mental processing.

Research shows what you eat is one of the most powerful influences on everyday brain skills. Your diet can make you smarter and lift your spirits. Learn the top foods to make you smarter and the ones to avoid in our 2-part program with 1-hour sessions.

Too much sugar puts you at risk for diabetes, reduced brain function and weight gain. Sugar is powerful and addictive. It can even trick your brain into using sugar as a reward. We’ll show you how to recognize and counter this response plus learn how to find the hidden sugar sources on food labels, to make more informed choices. A light, health snack will be served. The program leader is a registered dietitian.

Wellness Tip: Beware of “low-fat” labels. Some “low-fat” products are loaded with sugar, so they have similar calories as their "regular" counterpart.
