Kansas Senior
“As a senior citizen with chronic illnesses, I myself took the SNAP-Ed course. I now make it a point to include more fruits and vegetables into my daily meals. By doing so, I have less digestive issues and less inflammation in my body which helps me with mobility. I just have an all around general state of well being. I read the food labels more which helps me to make healthier food choices. I also try to include more healthy fat into my diet by incorporating more avocados, olive oil, and canola oil. I am more aware of portion sizes and portion control by using the “My Plate” as a guideline. I make grocery lists and do more meal planning which include more fruits and vegetables. I actually purchase more fresh produce now.
The SNAP-Ed class has really helped me to eat healthier and feel better. I hope to avoid many cardiovascular diseases as I continue to age; live independently & stay active for many more years to come.“
