Helping NCPAD Promote a Healthier You!

Monday was a day full of cooking demonstrations for 14-Weeks to a Healthier You, a web-based program by The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability (NCPAD)
This program is directed towards promoting healthy lifestyles among people with disabilities by improving their eating habits and encouraging physical activity. After developing recipes and analyzing the calories and nutritional content, we recorded a cooking demonstration of each recipe so participants can learn how to easily prepare each recipe.

Recipes included: Stuffed Peppers, Turkey Lettuce Wraps, a Very-Berry Smoothie, Chicken Kabobs with Chickpea Salad, and a fresh start to the day with the Kick-Off Parfait! 
Being able to assist with the nutrition aspect of the program, such as creating recipes, providing healthy daily tips, and performing cooking demonstrations has been a great experience so far!
