In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals boost their immunity with a free wellness presentation and cooking demonstration.
Fueling Your Defenses: The Role of Food in Immunity will be Tues., Oct. 21 from 5-6:15 p.m. at the Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen, Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford. This free culinary workshop will feature a discussion led by Griffin Health Registered Dietician Becca Cretella about “eating the rainbow,” highlighting foods high in antioxidants and the role they play in strengthening immunity against certain diseases like cancer. There will also be a cooking demonstration for an antioxidant dense butternut squash, chicken sausage and kale quinoa skillet meal.
Opened in 2020, the Griffin Center for Healthy Living is a unique facility in which Griffin Health partners with the community in wellness – offering education, guidance and assistance in preventing and managing chronic disease, and promoting overall well-being. The Center is part of Griffin’s mission to empower individuals to make choices that change their lifestyles for the better, and embodies Griffin’s goal to not only care for individuals when they are not well, but to build a meaningful relationship, guide, and coach them to maximize their quality of life.
