How's Your 5? Healthy Eating for Healthier Living from the Broadmoor H&WC

Senior farmers' market promotes nutrition and healthy eating for low-income seniors. New Orleans is known for good eating. Some people eat to live, but here, we live to eat!  As we get older, it is important to have a balanced diet to foster good health, especially if you are battling chronic illness. Healthy eating can also be difficult for your wallet.  Fresh fruits and vegetable aren't cheap. In March, Catholic Charities will begin the application process for the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program. The program awards low-income seniors with $20 in coupons to shop at farmers markets. Sign-up is limited in Orleans Parish, but is offered at several locations that are easily accessible across the city. Sign Up How's Your 5? Broadmoor Health and Wellness Center wants you to remember to check-in with yourself and those you care about.   "How's your 5?" raises awareness around self-care and encourages more meaningful conversations about the overall mental and physical health of the people we engage with everyday in our community. If you really want to know how someone is doing, ask “How’s Your 5?” It’s a way of creating a common language across five fundamental domains of human experience: Work. Love. Play. Sleep. Eat.
