University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator Kristin Bogdonas and Milan Hy-Vee dietitian Nina Struss, RDN, LDN have put together a fun, interactive monthly series that will focus on mind, body, spirit. Guest speakers from the community will present various health and fitness presentations along with a monthly nutrition topic and taste tests. The programs will take place at University of Illinois Extension, 321 W 2nd Ave., Milan, IL. The cost is $5 per person per class. (Children welcome.) Programs will be 5:30 p.m. to  7 p.m. Here's what's coming up this month: Understanding stress and its causes are an important part of mental health. This month we will explore the different types of stress and the effects they have on the body. As a participant, you will taste foods that are excellent sources of nutrition for the brain and learn about which foods cause a stress response in the body. Additionally, everyone will receive flax and walnut samples to take home. Our guest speakers this month will be certified Transcendental Meditation teachers, Claudia and David Magill from Quad Cities TM, to tell us about the positive effects TM can have on the brain and beyond.
