An informative and tasty session with Food for Life instructor Eileen Moore yesterday! Food for Life is an award-winning nutrition education & cooking class program that provides an innovative approach to food as medicine.
Eileen shared how the prevalence of heart disease in her husband's family encouraged her and her husband to transition to a whole foods, plant based diet. She brought a wealth of educational materials developed by Food for Life and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).
Eileen also shared a video narrated by Dr. Neil Barnard of the PCRM outlining the pillars of heart health: regular exercise, stress relief, avoidance of smoking, and plant-based eating.
A yummy wrap up to the program: sampling a nutritious quinoa salad and white bean dip!
