Learn To Eat Food For Your Brain At Avon Library Program

Town of Avon

AVON, CT — The saying goes you are what you eat and an upcoming program next week with the Avon Free Public Library takes that to another level — the mind.

The library on Tuesday, Oct. 3, is hosting a virtual event called "Nourish Your Brain for Better Aging," a special nutrition class.

It will take place virtually at 1 p.m. that day.

When it comes to a diet that promotes cognitive health and overall brain function, the MIND diet is worth considering, wrote the town in a program announcement.

The MIND diet combines aspects of two very popular diets, the Mediterranean diet and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.

Participants will be able to join Shana Griffin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, for a class on how to prevent brain aging with evidence-based nutrition science recommendations.

Griffin will provide participants with an eating guide and answer nutrition-related questions.

This program is part of the Memory Care Series #3, co-sponsored by Bloomfield Public Library, Avon Free Public Library, Canton Public Library and Avon Senior Center.

Those interested must provide an email address at registration to receive the Zoom link. The registration confirmation notice includes the Zoom link for the program. This program may be recorded.
