Krefeld’s Family Center Teaches Healthy Eating to Fight Obesity and Diabetes

The Family Education Center in Krefeld has expanded its programme on healthy eating for families. Recognised under North Rhine-Westphalia’s Continuing Education Act, the initiative now includes more open meetups and creative activities. Organisers aim to tackle diet-related health problems through practical workshops and advice.

The programme covers a wide range of topics, from fermenting food to preparing nutritious Carnival snacks. A special session on hosting a healthy Easter brunch has also been added. These hands-on workshops encourage families to adopt better eating habits together.

Poor diets can lead to serious health risks, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Both children and adults face higher chances of becoming overweight if meals lack proper nutrition. Mental well-being can also suffer from long-term unhealthy eating. All details about the programme, including schedules and registration, are available online. Interested families can visit www.drk-krefeld.de for more information.

The centre’s expanded offerings provide practical ways for families to improve their diets. By addressing issues like obesity and diabetes through education, the programme supports long-term health. Full details and workshop sign-ups are accessible through the official website.
