In this 5 part course participants will learn how to nourish their bodies for optimal health. We will learn what foods promote ideal health and which foods produce inflammation and create disease. Diets that include significant amounts of processed foods and animal products are a leading cause of modern diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. A whole food, plant-based diet has an impact on multiple diseases, whether for prevention, treatment or even reversal of disease. It also has a powerful therapeutic effect: a symphony of nutrients working on a multitude of bodily mechanisms that contribute to good health. All 5 classes will be at my home in Sidney where we will study nutrition, cook yummy food and share a meal. Class size is limited to 8 students.
