Story Behind the Curve
Med Instead of Meds is a nutrition course offered by NC Cooperative Extension. This course was created by a group of nutrition and the health professionals from NC State University and NC Division of Public Health. Eating the Med Way (Mediterranean) has been proven to protect against chronic illness. In some cases, eating the Med Way may even result in decreasing medications taken for blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. In 2024 the Alexander County Health Department collaborated with the Alexander County Cooperative Extension office to offer the course series in a fully bilingual setting (English & Spanish).
