Food is indeed medicine, and it is time to treat it that way. Did you know researchers are isolating compounds found in fish and apples that can inhibit cancer tumors’ ability to grow new blood vessels? Or that nuts can protect our chromosomes and help cells stay healthy longer? 

Join us for hands-on practical cooking demonstrations, recipes, and small steps to improve your family’s health. Learn how you can save money, too. Join Greensboro Public Library and our partner Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC for this four part series beginning Monday June 13 and meeting every other week (Mondays June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25). Participants will learn how to plan and budget for healthy, affordable, and delicious meals.  To register, email  Bebe Jallah and indicate “Food as Medicine” in the subject line or call 336-373-5810. 

GSO Learning Circles provides free courses to the Greensboro community. Course material will be presented with a facilitator to provide assistance, but there will be no teacher or expert. We learn together. Circles are based on peer learning, community and equity for creative and sustainable learning communities. This project was originally funded through a grant from UNCG Communication Department to create resilient communities. for more information on learning circles, email Beth Sheffield.
