Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health… and don’t forget the chocolate!
|
Twenty-five hundred years ago Hippocrates said “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Today, the science is solid. Food dramatically impacts our health and our ability to fight disease. Specific foods and food combinations can slash our risk of heart disease and cancer, protect against diabetes and osteoporosis, shield against aging and Alzheimer’s disease, cut the risk of eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts, and alleviate inflammatory disorders such as arthritis. Foods like blueberries, pomegranate juice, broccoli, green tea and the omega-3 fats have earned superstar status for their disease-fighting capabilities. Other foods - like those containing trans fats - are considered dietary villains. This seminar covers them all. It’s based on the best and most current research available. Powerhouse foods are ranked by their ability to optimize heart, brain, eye, and bone health. Myths are dispelled and misconceptions clarified. The advice is realistic and the suggestions are practical.
Bottom line: this informative, entertaining and fascinating seminar explores the link between food, optimal health and the prevention of disease.
