Milton Baptist Church hosts nutrition and exercise program
MILTON -- A program teaching about everything from home exercise to vegetarian nutrition kicks off next week at Milton Baptist Church.
Area residents are invited to participate in the nutrition program led by Dr. Linda Eakle, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15.
The program will meet every other Thursday for eight weeks and costs $40, or $10 a week.
As part of the program, certified personal trainer Susie Stewart will present information about setting up home exercise and wellness programs. A nutritionist also will teach participants about vegetarian diets during the course. Staff from St. Mary's Medical Center will conduct lipid panels for participants at the beginning of the program and again near the end of the program for a cost of $4 each.
Other topics to be discussed in the program include proteins, carbohydrates, diabetes, obesity and fats.
At the start of the program, participants will commit to a self-designed goal. Those who meet that goal and attend the four sessions will get back $20, Eakle said.
Anyone interested in the program can call 304-743-7141 or attend the meeting on Jan. 15.
