Chocolate, Sweet
Chocolate
If you crave chocolate,
you’re not alone – it’s the single most-craved food in the US! No other food can stir one’s emotions like
chocolate – a food that is exotic, soothing, creamy, rich, sensual and
delicious. Surely something this
wonderful cannot possibly be good for you.
Surprise! Say goodbye to the
guilt and hello to the health benefits of chocolate! In this session we’ll explore the
brighter side of chocolate, and give you lots of reasons to eat it often – as
if you really needed any more!
Just The Flax Ma’am
In the 8th
century A.D. flaxseed was considered so important for the health that there
were laws and regulations requiring its consumption! Hippocrates wrote about using flax for the
relief of abdominal pain as early as 650 B.C.!
But today most of us only know flax as the main component in linen and
industrial solvents. Aside from these
practical uses, flaxseed has amazing health benefits – from lowering
cholesterol and risk of stroke, to improving the immune system, and even
reducing the risk of arthritis, psoriasis and cancer! In this session we'll explore the
nutritional benefits of flax and teach you how to purchase, store and use flax
in your diet so you can flax your way to better health.
What's Lurking In Your Child's Lunchbox?
What children eat significantly impacts learning and behavior. Preservatives, additives and processed foods contribute to poor concentration, low energy, lower test scores and behavior problems.

What’s Lurking In Your
Pantry?
Did you know that
Kellog’s Nutri-Grain Bars and Smart Start Cereal are loaded with high fructose
corn syrup and trans fats, or that your albacore tuna is high in mercury? Many products seem healthy, but have some pretty
nasty additives or contaminants, which can impact your health in a variety of
ways. In this session we will
explore the many nutritional nightmares that lurk in your pantry and keep you from feeling your best!
Popular Diets: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Americans are obsessed
with dieting. Up to 40% of adult women
and 24% of adult men are currently trying to lose weight. Yet despite their dieting efforts, 55% of
adults in the U.S. are overweight, and obesity is on the rise. For the past several decades, health
professionals have been advising Americans to eat a high-carbohydrate / low-fat
diet. However, many women and men have
become disillusioned with this approach, and are once again turning to
high-protein / low-carbohydrate diets.
In this session we'll explore popular diets such as Atkins, The
South Beach Diet and more. You’ll learn
what really works, what doesn’t and how to choose a diet that will work for
you.
Aging & Immunity:
The Whole Foods Connection
Let's face it, we're all
aging faster than we'd like. Whether
it's a minor complaint of aging, such as wrinkles or dry skin, or a chronic
age-related disease such as arthritis, high blood pressure or vision loss, we
all feel the effects. As we age, our
bodies also become more susceptible to infection, putting us at higher risk for
the flu, pneumonia and other potentially serious illnesses. The good news is that these changes can be
slowed, or even avoided, by healthy eating!
Research tells us that foods rich in vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals
can actually slow down many of the effects of aging, and boost the immune
system! Surprisingly, this can be
accomplished through healthy eating alone, without expensive supplements! In this session we'll explore realistic ways
to fight aging and boost immunity through great tasting foods that are easy to
incorporate into a busy life!
Happy Meals: The
Food-Mood Connection
"Why do I feel
tired after eating a full meal?"
"Why do I have so much trouble concentrating" " Why do I
crave chocolate?" "Can diet affect depression?" If you have
asked yourself these questions, then this party is for you! What we eat has a direct impact on how we
feel, look, think, sleep and act!
Scientists now know which foods are connected to stress, PMS, and
fatigue, and which foods boost energy, concentration, mood, and improve
sleep! In this session we'll explore the
science behind the food-mood connection and learn ways to improve your food
choices to improve your mood.
Women's Health: Hot
Topics in Nutrition and Breast Health
Over 200,000 new breast
cancer cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. In the U.S. today,
there are more than two million breast cancer survivors, and every woman is at
risk. There are many factors that add up
to a diagnosis of cancer. Some are
uncontrollable such as gender, age or family history; but most women who develop breast cancer have no family history or
major risk factors. Diet is a major
controllable risk factor for breast cancer.
It is estimated that 30% - 40% of all cancers are directly related to
the foods we eat. In this
session we will explore the latest information in nutrition and breast
cancer prevention and empower you to take control of your breast health.
Healthy Eating for Women
in the Real World
In this interactive
workshop we’ll explore the connection between nutrition and a variety of
women’s health issues, discuss your barriers to healthy eating, learn realistic
ways to break these barriers, and put you on the road to a healthier
life!
Fueling Your Body for
Success
"Food is fuel, and
today's busy families are running on empty! Constantly on the go and
needing quick meals and snacks, we often turn to vending machines, snack-packs,
and fast food, which provide us with little more than fat and empty
calories. Whether you're a busy professional, a stay at home parent, or a
growing child, this session will give you the tools you need to fuel your body
for optimal energy, brainpower and performance".
