Get Healthy

Cape Abilities in Falmouth has been offering a monthly program to help participants stay healthy, lose weight and have fun. The Nutrition Club meets monthly for an educational talk on topics such as healthy snacks (yogurt, celery with peanut butter, apples or popcorn instead of potato chips, candy bars or doughnuts), eating habits to avoid, relaxation techniques, healthy holiday eating and exercise. Each meeting includes optional, private weigh-ins so participants can keep track of their progress, and everyone brings nonperishable food items for donation to the Falmouth Service Center food pantry. Then the group heads over to Leary Amusement Center on Main Street in Falmouth for bowling. The Nutrition Center is open to Cape Abilities members, parents and advocates, and staff, too, so everyone can get healthy!
