Cancer prevention through healthy eating
The young professionals’ board of the Massey Cancer Center has launched a new initiative to educate other young professionals and the community about cancer prevention through nutrition and healthy living.
The young professionals’ board of the Massey Cancer Center has launched a new initiative to educate other young professionals and the community about cancer prevention through nutrition and healthy living. Volunteers from the Massey Alliance will be staffing tables at the 17th Street Farmers Market on the first Saturday of the month through September 3. From 9am-4pm, you can learn about super foods and information on how healthy eating can help prevent cancer. “Because Massey is research-based, it’s hard to boil down [our message] to our peers. These workshops give people a role in their own health,” says Stephane Jenks, Assistant Director of Special Events at Massey Cancer Center. They hope to encourage more people to come to the Market.
In partnership with Richmond Balance, they’ll also provide weekly Saturday community exercise classes, starting at 10am at the Market. Free and open to the public, the classes will rotate topics, from cardio, yoga, core, boot camp, and Pilates. Topics will be announced every Thursday on the Massey Alliance Facebook Page. Bring your own mat. If it rains, the class moves indoors one block away to Richmond Balance.
