The Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals improve their kidney health with a free wellness presentation and cooking demonstration.
Eating Right for Kidney Health will be Tues., Aug. 26 from 5-6:30 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 how eating nutrient-rich foods while managing key minerals like sodium, potassium, and phosphorus is important for kidney health. Griffin Executive Chef Daryeal Murphy will then demonstrate how to make a tasty chipotle shrimp taco meal that is low in carbohydrates, sodium and potassium.
