Northfield Hospital & Clinics is offering a four-part nutrition class on consecutive Monday evenings, October 11 – November 1, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the Conference Center at Northfield Hospital. Kristi Von Ruden, LD, RD, and Courtney Eby, LD, RD, nutrition therapists at Northfield Hospital, will present on four key nutrition topics: "Portion Sizes and Label Reading;" "The Skinny on Fat;" "Fiber and Sugar;" and "Emotional Eating, Stress Hormones, Restaurant Eating and Holidays." Von Ruden says understanding our bodies' needs and the consequences of taking nutritional shortcuts is important to maintaining good health and weight as well as avoiding chronic disease. "We live in a culture that tries to persuade us that bigger is better but we need to be in charge of the food choices we make," Von Ruden said. The fee for the series is $40. One continuing education unit will be available for each session at no additional charge. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Contact Nancy at (507) 646-1035 or moen@northfieldhospital.org.
