“Nutrition and Aging” will be the topic of guest speaker Alegria Cohen, the Lead Clinical Dietitian at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, at the next Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills Brunch Speaker Series on Sunday, Oct. 19th, at the Pierce Middle School in Milton.  The brunch and talk are open to the public.

The full title of Ms. Cohen’s talk is “Nutrition and Aging: How the Natural Process of Aging Affects Nutrition Status from Childhood through Adulthood.”  She has extensive experience in long-term care and is a strong advocate for the observance of Jewish food traditions and customs.

Ms. Cohen will present practical ideas about nutrition from childhood throughout life, which should appeal to the entire age spectrum, including the elderly and those with elderly parents.  Her presentation will be full of real-life stories that all can relate to.

Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills, formerly Temples Shalom of Milton and Beth El of Quincy, invites the public to its Brunch Speaker Series, which begins at 10:15 AM, with the speaker starting at approximately 11 AM.  A $5 donation for the brunch is requested to defray food costs, and a call or email to the congregation office is required for planning.
