The workshop titled, “The Benefits of Eating 30 Different Plants in a Week,” will begin on Wednesday at the Van Diest Medical Center board room.

The hospital is located at 2350 Hospital Drive. The workshop begins at noon.

This workshop is a half hour, free empower workshop, presented by registered dietitian Kristi Zwiefel. Zwiefel will challenge participants to eat 30 different plants in a week. She will share how the challenge can benefit gut health by boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, increasing fiber, and lowering your cancer risk.

The workshop is open to all ages and will be hosted in-person and via Facebook Live on the hospital’s Facebook page.

In-person registration is encouraged, not required. Those interested in attending may register by emailing pr@vandiestmc.org. Parking is available in the west parking lot; the exterior door to the Clinic Board Room will be open and available for attendees to enter.
