Also in the discussions and presentations are simple physical activities people can work into their daily routines. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
The Federal Government recently replaced the food pyramid with “My Plate,” and people can find out more about this as well as how to use it in managing their diets.
Participants are also encouraged to bring a canned good, or a bag of rice to help Hawai‘i’s hungry families as part of the Drive to End Hunger, and AARP initiative.
