What is “Nosh and Know”?

- July 10, 2025: Nutrition for Older Adults: You Know What You Should and Should Not Eat….Do You Know WHY? We’ve heard it all before. Eat well; you are what you eat. Watch your calories – the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, cut out sugar, and ultra-processed foods – we hear it so often that it becomes like background noise! Well-intended advice coming from all directions can cause us to lose our motivation to act on what we know we “should” do.
