Griffin Health Offers Free Cooking Demonstration about Mental Well-being on July 8

The Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals care for their mental well-being with a free wellness presentation and cooking demonstration.

Understanding the Connection Between Nutrition and Mental Well-being will be Tues., July 8 from 5-6:15 p.m. at the Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen, Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford.

This free culinary workshop will feature a discussion led by Griffin Health Registered Dietician Becca Cretella on how nutrition can play an important role in physical and mental health. Griffin’s Executive Chef Daryeal Murphy will demonstrate how to make spinach, sweet potato and lentil dhal, a delicious vegan one-pot recipe that is rich in iron, low-fat, low-calorie and counts for three of the five daily recommended servings of vegetables.

Opened in 2020, the Griffin Center for Healthy Living is a unique facility in which Griffin Health partners with the community in wellness – offering education, guidance and assistance in preventing and managing chronic disease, and promoting overall well-being. The Center is part of Griffin’s mission to empower individuals to make choices that change their lifestyles for the better, and embodies Griffin’s goal to not only care for individuals when they are not well, but to build a meaningful relationship, guide, and coach them to maximize their quality of life.
