Webinar: Power Snacking: Increase Overall Nutrition with Blueberries

May 28, 2020

Webinar Sponsored by US Highbush Blueberries

Because of the difficulty involved in defining “snacks” and “snacking,” there is discrepancy in the literature about whether snacking prevalence has increased or remained static and whether snacking contributes to energy imbalance and weight gain or facilitates weight maintenance and a lower BMI. Yet, we know that individuals are consuming energy outside of meals, regardless of the overall prevalence of snacking or its impact on health.

On Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 2 p.m., join Mary Ellen Phipps, MPH, RDN, LD, and Leslie Wada, PhD, RD, for a presentation that will focus on the latest research demonstrating how snacking, along with incorporating blueberries supports proper health and will provide participants with strategies, resources, and tools for promoting simply delicious, naturally nutritious eating plans.
