On March 11, nearly 20 people attended the Re-Think Your Drink parent workshop presented by the University of California Cooperative Extension San Joaquin. This workshop was offered through San Joaquin County Office of Education’s Fire Up Your Feet San Joaquin.
Workshop attendees learned about maintaining a healthy lifestyle by limiting the consumption of sugary drinks. Presenters showed parents how to read nutrition fact labels, convert grams of sugar into teaspoons, and alternatives to sugary drinks. The workshop also included an ever-popular tasting of fruit and vegetable infused water, and allowed them to take home their own infused water bottle.
The project is supported by Kaiser Permanente Northern California Community Benefits Programs.
