The next workshop will be held in Kellogg Room B on Thursday, November 16, 2017. The workshop will be held in English from 4:30 PM and in Spanish at 5:10 PM. The workshops will cover: • How food impacts our health (diabetes and heart disease) • Ways to improve your nutritional choices for maintaining a healthy weight • “Good fats” vs. “Bad fats” • The misconceptions of
“health foods” • What all healthy diets have in common Workshop presenter Henry Duran said “I am passionate about nutrition and health education, as I grew up very overweight. Through educating myself in nutrition and other healthy lifestyle changes, I lost about 50 lbs. I have been physically fit and at a lean weight for many years. I was raised in San Bernardino, graduated from UCR in 2011 and relocated to Oakland, CA. I am a former Health Education Specialist with SBCUSD. My experience includes service with Community HealthCorps in the San Francisco East Bay. It was in this com-
munity clinic that I gained practice in a variety of quality health education programs, including oneon-one counseling with patients regarding nutrition, weight-loss, and diabetes. I am pursuing medical school so I can improve the health and well-being of my community as a physician. Currently, I am completing my pre-medical coursework, substitute teach (SBCUSD) and volunteer in community health in SB.” These free programs are open to the public.
