In the U.S., it’s recommended to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, but according to the CDC, only 10 percent of American adults reach those recommendations. Most people know eating fruits and vegetables is good for our health, so why are we struggling so much to eat our five servings? Join Be Well Solutions as they share new and exciting ideas for making fruits and veggies tastier and more convenient. Learn how you can get the benefits of these nutritious plants without compromising on time or flavor. 


Tuesday, May 25, from noon - 1 p.m. 

If the debate surrounding organic foods and GMOs has you confused, you’re not alone. Many Americans struggle to understand the science and safety behind conventionally grown foods. Just because a food is organic, does that really mean its healthier? This webinar will cover: 

  • Organic standards and labeling 
  • Safety and importance of GMO crops 
  • Safety and health implications of organic and conventional crops 

For questions regarding health and wellness offerings for faculty and staff, please contact Employee Wellness at wellness@kent.edu, or 330-672-0392.
