The International Health section of Lahey Health partners with Bermuda Healthcare to present health fairs each quarter. The June fair focused on healthy eating. Lahey Hospital & Medical Center’s Clinical Nutrition Manager, Rebecca Bradley, MS, RD, LDN, CDE, participated by demonstrating the preparation of a lighter version of macaroni and cheese with broccoli and carrots, and Dr. Russell’s Salsa, which is a delicious mixture of black beans, corn, tomatoes, scallions, avocado, and cilantro dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and cumin. The participants tasted these items, as well as chicken mini-meatloaf and fresh fruit with a lime honey dressing prepared by a local chef. The health fair also featured blood glucose checks, blood pressure checks, and a display of gluten free products available at a local grocery store. It was held at the Bermuda Industrial Union building, and the colleagues at the union provided valuable support.
