As part of our community outreach and commitment to health education we spent time in the community with employees from the Pearson company on Bulverde Road. In conjunction with their health awareness week we provided information on diet, diabetes, and heart disease. Sanjay Kumar, MD, and William Mallott, M.D., from the BHS Physicians Network spoke on the benefits of good heart health, heart disease prevention, and diabetes awareness and prevention.
Registered Dietitian Jennifer Meachum RD, LD, CNSD, spent one-on-one time educating employees on good diet and nutrition. Jennifer also demonstrated how to make a very colorful "Go Green Smoothie." Packed with phytonutrients (pronounced FIGHT-O), which, just as the word sounds, has been show to fight certain cancers and reduce the risk of heart disease and aging the smoothie is made with baby spinach, frozen bananas, frozen mangoes, frozen peaches and water. I asked Jennifer to make mine without the banana and it was surprisingly delicious and nutritious. See Photos.
