Kelly Velotta, nutrition manager for LIVE FOR LIFE, has two main ingredients for healthy eating on a tight budget: shop wisely and learn to cook.
Great American Smoke Out
Learn about tobacco cessation resources during the American Cancer Society's sponsored Great American Smoke Out,
Thursday, November 19, 2009. Employees who visit the information table can sign-up for a free drawing to win a "Cold Turkey" (a frozen Thanksgiving Turkey.)
Maintain Don't Gain
The holiday season can be a tough time of the year to maintain your waistline. Most Americans gain one to three pounds between Thanksgiving
and New Years. So, if you are tempted by pumpkin pie, turkey with stuffing, fudge and other treats, we can help! Join the
Maintain Don't Gain Holiday Challenge.
Fresh Veggies All Fall & Winter
Summer isn't the only time to get crisp, fresh vegetables from a local farmer's market. Through LIVE FOR LIFE's Mobile Farmer's
Market, Duke faculty and staff can continue to pre-pay for fresh vegetables throughout the winter months and pick up their share of the harvest each Tuesday
at the Duke Gardens.
Fall Run/Walk Club Begins August 24
Join the Duke Run/Walk Club for the Fall 2009 session starting Monday, August 24. Members of the Duke Run/Walk Club will discover how a few extra steps a week can
