Inadequate nutrition and hydration can cause muscle loss and increase the risk of falls, so the Aging and Disability Resource Center of Rock County is trying to help out.

Health Promotion Coordinator Lisa Messer says a new, one day class, will teach people how nutrition impacts fall risk, the importance of muscles for strength, key nutrients for older adults, and how to create an action plan to improve nutritional health.

Messer says losing weight without dieting, not getting enough to eat, decreased muscle strength, poor appetite, inadequate fluid intake, and taking multiple medications are all signs that someone may want to take the class.

The workshop will be held Wednesday, June 14th from 12:30 to 3:00pm at the Senior Center in Clinton and people can register by contacting the ADRC.
