In a world filled with fad diets and promises of miracle medications, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about the best dietary choices for cancer prevention. Join us for an enlightening talk where we sift through the noise and focus on evidence-based nutrition strategies that can genuinely help reduce your cancer risk.
Pierce County Human Services’ Aging and Disability Resources is partnering with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health to bring free, no cost cancer prevention education opportunities to residents across Pierce County through the series, “Eating for Cancer Prevention: Cutting Through the Fads and Finding Healthy Solutions.”
Participants will hear from expert speaker and Registered Dietician, Tricia Sinek, on nutrition tips and tools for a healthier future. Discussions will be centered on certain foods and nutrients that can influence cancer risk, debunking popular diet myths and learning easy-to-implement dietary habits that can prevent cancer and promote long-term health.
