Nutrition is very important, but it is sometimes hard to know what is good for you and what is not. Recently Friends for Youth held a Nutrition Life Skills Workshop, which was expertly presented by Elaine Silver, a nutritionist from the UC Davis Nutrition Program. Elaine did a fantastic job at capturing everyone’s attention as she educated us about some of the “not so healthy foods” we should limit and explained what is "healthy" when it comes to eating things with sugar, salt, and fat. In addition, all the mentors and mentees who attended this Life Skills Workshop went home with a cookbook full of fun, easy, and healthy recipes they can later cook with their families. The night ended with everyone playing with their food by getting creative and making yummy banana caterpillars!
