Healthy Eating and Fall Risk Prevention with Cornell Cooperative and JAG Physical Therapy (In Person)

Meet Bilingual Nutrition Educator, Claudia Ravines Clarke from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and learn the benefits of healthy eating! Small changes add up over time, bite by bite! Claudia will be focusing on fat and sugar which are hidden in everything. She will also speak about good fats and types of sugar. She will have a recipe prepared for you to taste. Please see the Herbal table as you sign in to also get a chance to taste some caffeine free herbal teas. After learning about how to get your nutrition on track, you will be meeting Dr. Catherine Murphy, DPT, Physical Therapist and Clinical Director of JAG Physical Therapy in Bohemia! A healthy body is not just knowing what to eat; a healthy body needs to move and be active! As we age, our sensory organs begin to decline causing poor balance. This puts us at risk of fractures and disability. Learn how gait and balance training accompanied with functional strength training can help to decrease your fall risk.
