Dine With A Doc Held at Senior Center
This month’s Dine with a Doc was held on Tuesday, June 6 at the Mid Illinois Senior Services and Community Center in Sullivan. This month’s guest speaker was Denise Bloemer, a registered dietician with Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon. She spoke on the ChooseMyPlate diagram that is now used to show portion sizes and servings that people should be getting in their diet on a daily basis. She also talked about special diet considerations for older adults including food to boost memory, foods for eye health and foods to incorporate in your diet to reduce inflammation. The next Dine with a Doc will be held in October.
