 Course Description

What is this course about?

Phytochemicals, functional foods, and culinary practices all seek to merge the understanding of how to apply food as medicine towards inflammation and towards current chronic disease trends. Fruits, vegetables, plants, herbs, spices, and fungi all contain potent phytochemicals known to impact inflammatory reactions and aid immune systems responses. Mind-body medicine applications are noted throughout Blue Zones and offer a means of connecting ancestral wisdom with greater wellbeing. Learning ways to incorporate using food as medicine and mind-body medicine techniques into daily living can aid not only in prevention but foster a reduction in inflammation while supporting immune function.
