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.
