Healthy for the Holidays Workshop Series with Dr. Utash

From November to January—known generally as “The Holidays”—health usually gets put on the backburner. A lack of exercise, an overabundance of starchy, fatty foods and prolonged stress all take a harsh toll on your body. After three months, your well-being suffers. The Holidays are the time to pay even closer attention to your health.

Dr. Utash will expose the things that sap the joy from the season, while demonstrating how you can save money, reduce stress and even increase your health during this hectic time of year.

This is the first workshop of a 3-part series that includes a Shopping Tour at Natural Grocers and a Smoothie Workshop at the JCC.  The cost for all three events is $15 per person and registration is through the JCC.  Please call 299-3000 to register.
