Healthy Tips
Roberta Sitter-Russell, Registered Dietitian from the Shelby County Health Department, recently visited the Memphis Campus to talk to students in Director of Health Care Education Afework Keskessa’s class on obesity. She talked about the importance of eating breakfast and exercising to stay healthy. Because Memphis is known as the “fried food capital of the South,” she warned students about good fats and bad fats and the reasons a balanced diet is needed everyday. She also expressed the importance of eating from the four food groups recommended by the UDSA. Students were given excellent information on how to cut back.
