We all know that what we eat has a big impact on our health and wellbeing. We know that good nutrition is vital to good health and disease prevention, and we all should eat a ‘healthy diet.’ But what is a ‘healthy diet?’ We have so much information coming at us from the media, in the news and online that it’s difficult to make sense of it all. Eggs are bad one minute and ok the next? Complex carbohydrates are good but don’t eat bread? Come end your confusion, avoid the fad diets, and find out what a healthy diet really is.

During this series, we will discuss healthy nutrition in a practical sense. You will leave understanding what carbohydrates, fats and proteins are, and you will also know how to identify each of them in your meals and make balanced choices. We will cover herbs and spices, and how to incorporate these not only to improve flavor, but also to improve your digestion. You will taste new foods, see balanced portion sizes, and learn new eating behaviors that will help you use your diet as your primary medicine.

Each meeting will consist of approximately 1 hour of nutrition instruction followed by 30 minutes of cooking demonstrations and food tasting.

When thinking of ‘toxicity’ or ‘environmental health,’ many people conjure images of air and water pollution, oil spills and deforestation. While our health is undoubtedly impacted by the health of our planet, few stop to consider how their health is impacted by an environment with which they have a much more intimate connection (and much more control over). In this seminar we will discuss the home environment and the ways in which it can either damage or improve your overall health.

Many studies have shown that indoor air quality is consistently and dramatically worse than outdoor air quality, regardless of where you live. Most people are spending a great deal more time indoors than they are out, live in newer and more efficient homes, and have many more of the ‘creature comforts’ including carpeting, upholstered furniture and electronic equipment surrounding them all day. While many of these are unavoidable parts of our lifestyle, they are all major sources of indoor air pollution, and can have a significantly negative impact on our health.

Join us for a day of discussion focused on improving your health through modifying your home environment. We will discuss areas of concern and areas of opportunity for you to improve your health without compromising the comfort or beauty we all work to establish in our homes. These will include flooring and wall décor options, cleaning supplies, food choices, food preparation and storage materials, as well as personal care products.
