Jewell County Health Department is preparing to offer classes in the upcoming year in regard to healthy living and chronic disease prevention. Studies show that 1 in 3 adults have prediabetes. Losing weight and being active can reduce the risk by half. The classes use CDC approved curriculum and are taught by a certified instructor. Classes focus on increasing activity, nutrition guidance and stress reduction strategies. Even though the classes are focused on diabetes prevention, a department spokesperson said everyone could benefit opening it up to any adult participant who is interested in lifestyle changes. If you are interested in more information, please contact the department and visit with Michelle Lindberg RN for details.
