Y will teach families how easy it is to eat healthier on Sept. 5

Families will learn how to eat healthier and will make a tasty, healthy, snack Sept. 5

Join the Greater LaGrange YMCA as they teach families the importance of healthy eating at a fun Friday Family Night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, at the Y, 1100 E. 31st St., La Grange Park.

Families will learn about the 5-4-3-2-1 method, which has replaced the food pyramid; will play one-minute games; do some quick exercises; and then create a healthy, but tasty, snack plus a fun dessert.

This event is free for YMCA members and only $5 per family for non-members. Please register for this event today by calling 708.352.7600 to guarantee there are enough supplies.
