Eating to support your body and well being
This class runs the second Saturday of every month. It is a general healthy day course covering all aspects of health for your body, both mentally and physically. Topics will include ultra processed foods (UPF), brain health, FODMAP & general gut issues, intermittent fasting, menopause, gluten-free, detoxification, weight management, vegan cookery, anti-inflammatory, good mood foods, sustainability, natural supplement intake, and many more! If you are interested in booking this class and have a particular health subject you are interested in, I can see if I can cover this.
By eating a healthy balanced diet will not only give you energy, but will keep your blood sugars balanced, your mind and emotional state stable. By avoiding processed foods, refined sugars and enjoying wholegrain foods with fibre, lean meat proteins, along with fruit and fresh vegetables will enhance your daily life and help to control excess weight gain. Healthy habits help prevent certain health conditions, keep your cholesterol and blood pressure within a safe range. When you combine strategies for eating regularly with foods that may have a positive effect on your well-being, you can plan meals that may help you to feel better. You can also avoid foods that may make you feel worse. Now that's something to be happy about!
You will learn to cook a wide range of simple, healthy dishes using fresh and easily available ingredients. You will discover the medicinal benefits of selected herbs and spices with an explanation of the importance of certain nutrient groups, which can enhance our mood and well being.
KitchenJoy is also about sustainability by cutting the waste, a cooking approach that prioritises the use of ingredients, techniques, and practices to minimise environmental impact. You can freeze anything you can’t eat while it’s fresh and, where possible, buy loose produce so you can select the exact amount that you need.
