Eating a balanced diet is the cornerstone of our good health and well-being. It affects everything from weight, to energy levels, to overall health, to personal confidence. Yet in a culture consumed with marketing myriad of highly-processed products, many of us are left without a clear understanding of nutrition labels, much less the types and quantities of foods necessary to achieve a healthy diet. The organizations below offer classes, workshops, and other information on nutrition to help empower DC residents to eat well-balanced diets.
