Kickstart Your Health in the New Year with VeganCheers

Thursday, Jan. 3
Everyone's been there — it's the start of a new year, and every person you run into wants to be happier and healthier. The problem that carries over is that it's often hard to stay motivated, especially without the extra help. Thankfully, if getting happier and healthier is the way you want to start off 2019, "Kickstart Your Health" has you covered.
Lisa Rose of VeganCheers (a common guest at the Whole Foods Co-op) is presenting a 21-day challenge for anyone who wants to lose weight or learn how to maintain a healthier diet. Happiness can also be found in what we eat. Food has the power to boost energy and mood, and this is just one example of what you can learn in this series. The series is made up of five classes that take place every Thursday in Erie or every Monday in Fairview throughout January. From learning how to power your plate to appetite control, "Food for Life: Nutrition and Cooking Classes with Lisa Rose of VeganCheers" can help you smile more and feel better about what you put on your plate. — Kalli Oberlander
