Register for February Sessions

 The sessions for this month are the following: 

• February 13th - Healthy Hydration: Staying hydrated is one of the most important yet underrated aspects of our health! Find out how much water you should be drinking each day (hint: it’s not 8 cups!) and what fluids count towards your daily hydration goal. We’ll also look at the role of alcohol and breast cancer risk and review how much, if any, is safe to consume. 

• February 27th - Sugar and Breast Cancer: During this session, we’ll break down the myths and truths of sugar intake and breast cancer risk/recurrence. You will gain a better understanding of the different types of sugars in our diet and how the type can influence health. We’ll also look at the three different categories of sugar substitutes and answer the question: are they a better alternative to sugar?   

Once registered, you will receive an email directly from Brittany, the Monday prior to the nutrition session. This email will include the Zoom meeting link, a PowerPoint PDF with information on the topic, and a copy of the activity/recipe. We will not be going through the PowerPoint slide by slide during the session, so you are encouraged to review the information prior and come with questions.
