"Low-Acid Eating"
Low-acid eating is becoming known as the best way to ensure bone strength as we age. It also helps prevent and reverse disease by fostering a healthy blood quality. Learn which foods to choose and which to avoid. Receive a bibliography of the best and the latest books on the topic, and become familiar with supportive groups such as Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Thurs., March 15, Tamalpais High School:
"Diabetes: Eating Well for Prevention & Recovery"
200 million people have diabetes worldwide, yet it’s rare in Japan, China, Thailand and other Asian countries, as well as parts of Africa, cultures that consume lots of carbohydrates. But when their traditional diets become Westernized, diabetes rates soar. You’ll be surprised to learn the latest findings on the specific foods that cause Type I and Type II diabetes, and the diet that controls blood sugar three times more effectively than the American Diabetes Association (ADA) diet. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association are in support of this new research from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Bibliography included.
Thurs, May 17, Sir Francis Drake High School:
"The Healthy Vegan"
It’s the right thing to do for both our bodies and our planet, eating less meat and dairy. But planning simple plant-based meals, meals that satisfy both our senses and our sense of wellbeing, can be daunting. Self-care is the best form of health care. Eating is our direct link with the environment, and is something we can control. With 38 years of experience in the natural health field, Meredith provides the opportunity to discuss the whys and hows of eating well. Bibliography and a week’s worth of menus included.
