We spent yesterday morning delivering a slow cooker workshop to a group of young people in Newquay.

🫘 We made Mexican mixed bean burritos (yummy!), learning how to cut vegetables safely and how to use slow cookers as a low cost means of cooking.

They were looking forward to tasting their dishes for dinner last night! Each young person was gifted their slow cooker to keep and they're already planning what they could make next. 🥘

Join us on our next Food and Mood course on Thursday 29 January 9.30-11.30.

There are many ways in which food can influence how we feel, just like how we feel can have an influence on what foods we choose to eat. This 2 hour workshop aims to increase knowledge and understanding of how food impacts our mood, and how we can improve our own mood and energy levels.
This workshop aims to:

- Increase knowledge of basic nutrition
- Explore how our diet can affect our mood
- Reflect how our mood impacts our food/drink choices
- Consider any changes to improve mood and energy levels

Join us on Zoom from 9.30am-11.30 am - book your place here 👉https://www.healthycornwall.org.uk/training/workshops-stress-menopause-mindfulness-sleep-food-mood/food-and-mood-workshop/

A huge well done to everyone at Parkview in Helston Park View, Helston who joined our Healthy Eating sessions yesterday.

🍌🥚🥕We had a fantastic time exploring where different foods sit on the Eatwell Guide, talking about why aiming for 5 portions of fruit and veg a day is so important, and getting hands on by creating our own plates. Everyone worked brilliantly to divide their plates into sections showing how much fruit & vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein should be part of a balanced meal.

⭐A huge well done to everyone who took part, you were amazing⭐

We hope you are all safe and well this morning.
With many roads closed following last night's storm, please be advised that all our in-person sessions are cancelled today.

Roads and public transport remain disrupted this morning as we deal with the aftermath of Storm Goretti.

Please avoid travelling if you can. If you do need to make a journey, check routes and travel operators in advance, as many bus and rail services are cancelled or running with delays.

A large number of roads are still closed due to fallen trees, downed power lines and debris. Our teams are working around the clock to clear them, and we ask that you give crews the space they need to carry out urgent repairs safely.
