Raw and Living Foods

Monday, September 20, 11:00-12:00 on Zoom

Proper nutrition is essential for good health. Just choosing to eat nutritious foods may not be enough. It is important to also pay attention to how these foods are prepared. The cooking of food can alter and often destroy the nutrients before we have the chance to ingest, absorb or use any for our own bodies. Luckily, adopting a raw and living foods lifestyle avoids this crucial loss of nutrients and amplifies your health. Learn from Holli Bassin, functional medicine health coach and speaker, the benefits of ditching the heat to embrace the raw and living foods lifestyle. During this class, you will learn the disadvantages of cooking food and about yummy raw alternatives and ways to adopt this new surge of nutrition into your daily life.
