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.

Healthy Eating In a Hectic World

We live in a fast-paced, hectic world. For many people eating on the run, skipping meals and frozen dinners are a way of life. We eat what we can, when we can. No time to shop for food. No time to prepare it. We dine at our desks. We dine in our cars. The result is often a nutritional catastrophe - a diet of unhealthy fats, excess calories, and sodium, and not enough nutrition. A busy lifestyle is no excuse for a lousy diet, and neglecting our health, no matter how crazy life gets, is simply not an option. This seminar is about eating healthy in the fast lane. It’s full of label reading guidance, fast food survival tips, best dining out options, snacking recommendations and more. It makes meal planning easy and serves up great advice for the supermarket.
