Workshop 5 - July 21st Food as Medicine: How to choose the right foods for your health

The most effective way to take control of your health is through the food we eat every day. In this workshop we will look at diet through the eyes of a chemist and explore the value of your chosen foods. Are they contributing to our health or do they distract making us unwell? Through macronutrients and micronutrients of the common foods we eat, we will discuss the pros and cons of the carbohydrates, fats and proteins. In addition, we will delve into plant-based vitamins and minerals, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods, and learn about the GI and GL. By the end of the day you will understand what healthy foods are and how to improve your diet with healthier options.
