Healthy lifestyle workshop set for Monday
CADILLAC - Those interested in learning about the
importance of exercise and interested in trying out some vegan Mexican food
should keep Monday night open.
Through a joint venture, Apple Valley Natural Foods and
the Cadillac West Seventh Day Adventist Church will be offering their monthly
Supper Club series at 6:30 p.m. at the Career Technical Center.
Judy Greenman said that she has been holding Supper
Clubs, Healthy Living Clubs and other health and food classes on and off over
the past 20 years.
“I have offered juicing classes and more recently
lectures on health such as using charcoal as a compress and hydrotherapy, which
involves using water to heal,” she said. “I enjoy sharing these ideas with
people. It's good to learn new things in order to live a healthy lifestyle.”
Dr. Neil Goodman, who practices at the Family Health Care in
Baldwin, will be on hand to talk about why exercise is important for a healthy
lifestyle.
After the presentation by Goodman, three to four vegan
Mexican dishes will be available.
“We have a few different dishes planned, so those who come
shouldn't eat before,” Greenman said. “We try to do a different theme for food
during each event. It gives people ideas on how to make tasty, different types
of vegan meals.”
Anyone is welcome to attend and the cost is by donation.
Greenman asks that people call her at Apple Valley Natural Foods, 775-6211, to
let her know how many people will be attending so they will have an ample amount
of food on hand.
