- "Live Healthy, Live Longer"
The LSU AgCenter Rapides Parish Extension Nutrition Team kicked off the Spring 2019 Lunch & Learn series on Wednesday, January 16. The topic was “Live Healthy, Live Longer!” The speakers were Eunice Lee, Dietetic Intern from Louisiana Tech University and Ms. Tameka Gold. Tameka shared the very inspiring and motivating story of her struggles with health and fitness. She talked about how she has managed to transform her life and greatly improve her health over the past two years by eating healthy and being active. Ms. Gold did not use any type of fad diets, or “magic pills” to accomplish this amazing transformation. “Find something that works for you and be consistent” was the key message. Eunice Lee talked about the different types of fad diets that are currently popular and why they are not successful for long term health and wellness.
The Lunch & Learn Series will continue monthly through the Spring 2019:
