Location: Belmont Village of Lincoln Park, 700 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Please join us for our Mindful Nourishment program, where we will discuss how nutrition relates to brain health, practice the concept of mindful eating, and learn how to incorporate healthy behaviors into our daily routines. We will delve into science, relaxation and tips for eating well. Plus, there will be plenty of time to ask questions, share strategies and get acquainted with like-minded individuals.
