About the Course

Around the world, we find ourselves facing global epidemics of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases. To address these public health crises, we urgently need to explore innovative strategies for promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. In this course, learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin optimizing the way they eat. This course will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.

Love how Maya presented the course and I especially love the cooking sessions featuring her cute kids. I am looking forward to reading her book or if she has any YT account featuring more home cooking

Основные идеи курса просты, но необходимы к осознанному исполнению: от размера блюда до насыщаемости. Путь в Магазине и приготовление еды своими руками.

ME ABRIÓ LA MENTE, ENTIENDO MUCHO MAS SOBRE LA ALIMENTACIÓN Y LO QUE MAS ME GUSTÓ ES EL EDIFICAR/ESTRUCTURAR UN PLATO DE COMIDA. ME FACILITARÁ LA VIDA.
