Natural Awakenings Lancaster-Berks

Dishes 2 Nourish

Lindsay Coleman

Lindsay Coleman, registered dietitian, hosts Dishes 2 Nourish (D2N), free for the community cooking demonstrations on a wide-range of nutritional topics, in the Lancaster Cancer Center dining commons. Participants can sample the prepared entrees during the class and receive a copy of the recipes to cook at home.  

Healthy Eating During Cancer Treatment will be held at 10 a.m., September 12. Food is the fuel that keeps the body strong during cancer treatment. Unfortunately, many treatments can make eating challenging. Ideal for patients and caregivers, this class will focus on the most common eating problems a person can have during treatment as well as ways to work around them to nourish the body.

Unwrap the Truth: Food Labels will be held at 10 a.m., October 10. Nutrition facts panels and food label claims can be confusing. The discussion includes tips and tricks for understanding nutrition facts panels, and the types of claims made on packaging will be explained.

Coleman provides medical nutrition therapy, helps patients develop dietary strategies and answers dietary questions and how they relate to cancer.

Location: Greenfield Corporate Center, 1858 Charter Lane, Ste. 202, Lancaster. To register, call Lindsey Coleman at 717-291-1313, ext. 102. For more information, visit LancasterCancerCenter.com.
