Our diet, or the food and drink we consume, is the most powerful determinant of our overall health and wellness. It can be our best ally, or our worst enemy. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know how to build a healthy diet with all the conflicting dietary advice and plans out there. In this class a Board Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant will share the basics of Eating for Health to promote overall health and wellness. The goal of this class is to educate and empower you with the foundational knowledge of how to structure a health promoting diet. You will meet your “nutrition heroes” and “nutrition bandits,” understand the difference between macro- and micro-nutrients, and learn how to keep track of food choices and notice attitudes pertaining to making changes. You will leave equipped with the knowledge to start making healthier food choices to reduce your risk for chronic diseases such as type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
