Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce hosts health breakfast

BELVIDERE – On Wednesday, April 20, the Belvidere Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ‘Breakfast before Business’ event at Rivers Edge Recreation Center, located at 1151 W. Locust St. in Belvidere.

At 7:30 a.m., business men and women from the Belvidere area gathered for the Health Breakfast Series to hear a presentation on “Garbage In, Garbage Out” by Srivani Sridhar, MD.

Sridhar’s presentation educated the area business men and women on a healthy diet.

The lecture focuses specifically on understanding the role of sugar in inflammation, defining processed foods and how they affect you, the gluten controversy, and an anti-inflammatory diet for optimal health.

While they listened to the lecture, they enjoyed a complimentary hot breakfast.

The event also featured a small gift for each attendee and a chance at a door prize drawing sponsored by SwedishAmerican, A Division of UW Health.
