As we age, our nutritional needs change, and it becomes increasingly important to ensure that we are receiving the right nutrients to support our overall health and wellbeing. Access to fresh healthy food and nutrition counseling can help you or your loved one make informed healthy choices and Schenectady County Senior and Long Term Care is here to help.
Are you or your loved one struggling with health issues and looking for ways to improve your eating habits? Are you tired of cooking and seeking easier methods to prepare healthy meals? Are you in a rut and ordering comfort food more than you would like? If so, a Nutrition Counselor is available to meet with you to help you prepare easy and healthy meals.
Nutritional Education program promotes optimal health to individuals, families, and groups. Information and resources are available on food preparation and safety, how to stretch food dollars, preserving food, reducing fat in the diet, and other nutrition-related topics.
