In a world filled with fad diets and promises of so-called miracle medications, it’s easy to feel unsure about the best dietary choices for cancer prevention. So Pierce County Human Services’ Aging and Disability Resources is partnering with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in September to host free, no cost cancer-prevention education opportunities through workshops titled “Eating for Cancer Prevention: Cutting Through the Fads and Finding Healthy Solutions.” |
Participants will hear from Tricia Sinek, a registered dietician, Tricia Sinek, on nutrition tips for a healthier future. Discussions will be centered on certain food and nutrients that can influence cancer risk, debunking popular diet myths, and learning easy-to-implement dietary habits that can prevent cancer and promote long-term health. |
The sessions are scheduled for: Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. at Mid-County Senior Center, 10205 44th Ave. E., in the Summit area. Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. at Gig Harbor Senior Center, 6509 38th Ave. NW.
