NBPL release – In February, our Modern Life Skills for Older Adults series will continue with a focus on longevity and health. Guest speaker Stephanie Polizzi will share information about food that prevents and arrests chronic disease found in the “Blue Zones” guidelines. The program will be held Monday, February 27 at 2:00 PM at the North Bend Public Library. Stephanie Polizzi is an Associate Professor of Practice with Oregon State University Extension Service. She is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and holds a master’s degree in Public Health Nutrition. Her passion is teaching the importance of consuming more plant-based foods to reduce the risk of chronic disease and illness and increase quality of life and longevity. Longevity and Health is part of the North Bend Public Library’s partnership with the Older Adult Behavioral Health Initiative to offer a monthly series called Modern Life Skills for Older Adults. The series is held on the fourth Monday of every month at 2:00 PM. A different topic of interest will be highlighted each month, and a resource table with related service and program materials from local organizations will also be available during the program. Patrons can attend the program in-person, or they can register at https://tinyurl.com/8mfd54h3 to attend via Zoom.
