LEE High School JROTC cadets hosted a special guest with vast experience in a field that’s crucial to their program. U.S. Army dietician Jessica Dolan spoke at length about the importance of nutrition and explained how it plays a role in their overall health and well-being. Dolan says she dreamed of having a career in the nutrition field and is especially interested in helping prevent obesity in adults and children. Her presentation informed the cadets on how nutrition plays a critical role in fueling their performance and recovery before and after physical training.
“The food choices you make now will impact your overall health and well-being in the future,” said Dolan.
Dolan also touched on good dietary traits and behaviors that can help mitigate chronic issues like diabetes and heart disease.
