Introduction to Optimal Eating
Are you ready to take control of your health? Do you want to know how food plays a role in your overall well-being? Are you wondering where to begin? If so, then this introductory class is for you. During this class you will get an overview of the optimal eating pattern and the evidence supporting it, ideas for meals, what it means to be an informed consumer, and resources to assist you on your journey.
Since there is no magic food to improve health, by doing the work, in time you will see the benefits and have the physical energy to live your best life.
Did You Miss It?
If you were unable to attend the January Food Over Medicine Club, we learned about ways to support our immune system. Optimal diet, ideal weight, and a healthy gut microbiome are all important. In addition sweating, sleeping well, laughing and controlling stress are also shown to maintain a healthy immune system. How we treat our bodies has a lot to do with how it responds to all the viruses we are constantly exposed to.

Vegan January- Beware!
A lot of people suggest eating a vegan pattern during January to promote health in the new year. If you are doing it for the health of animals you will be successful. However if you are doing it for your personal health you may or may not see improved health. You may be confused since vegan eating and good health are often synonymous. It all depends upon your food choices. Potato chips are vegan yet not healthy. If you look at the ingredients and nutritional label for vegan products such as cheese and hot dogs you will discover they contain unhealthy ingredients, fat and have little nutritional value. This is considered vegan junk food. Compare this to fruit, vegetables, potatoes, whole grains and more that are also vegan choices. Most of these don’t even have an ingredient list- all natural and full of nutrients. So if you are participating in vegan January make intentional healthy choices to get the most benefit.
Food Over Medicine Club
We will not be meeting in December! Look forward to beginning again in January!
