Class Topics
Sleep Health: Aug 5
Quality sleep is essential for human health, yet many of us do not get the quality sleep necessary for optimal health. This makes us more than sleepy and grumpy; it can set the stage for diabetes, obesity, depression, dementia and cardiovascular disease. In this class we will learn nutrition and lifestyle tips that will help to get a good night’s sleep.
August 12: Brain Health
Our brain is our most powerful tool. Nutrition and lifestyle choices have a huge impact on our brain throughout our lives. In this class, we will learn about brain- boosting foods and lifestyle tips that will help protect our brains from the diseases of aging.
August 19: Conquer Your Cravings
Do you struggle with food cravings? Have you ever wanted dark chocolate so much that you didn’t catch a single word during a meeting because you know there is some hidden in your desk drawer? Do you crave something sweet after dinner, despite the fact that you are full? Cravings are controlled by your brain, so a craving is really about your body communicating with you. In this class, we will learn how to listen to our body and decipher what those cravings are telling us.
August 26: Gluten Free
Most people have some degree of gluten sensitivity. With a healthy digestive track and strong immune system, our body is designed to tolerate and eliminate small quantities of gluten. However, the use of some medications, over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, and the Standard American Diet can irritate the intestinal lining and damage it, creating gaps in the intestinal walls which allow toxins such as gluten to pass into the bloodstream. Learn about ways to replace gluten with naturally healthy foods to reduce inflammation and gluten sensitivity.
