Most Americans are not aware of the relationship between nutrition and many of the most common and debilitating diseases in the US.
Research shows that between 1/3 and 2/3 of all cancers, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity are linked to the unhealthy Standard American Diet (SAD). Our diet is killing us!
Our innovative nutrition and cooking classes teach you how the right food choices can help prevent cancer and increase the chances of survival, and reverse Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
If you have Type 1 diabetes, this same healthy diet can help to manage blood sugar by reducing insulin resistance and prevent or reduce many of the complications of diabetes: kidney disease, heart disease, blindness and amputations.
These classes empower individuals and families to take action to improve their health and vitality.
Classes are held regularly in Anchorage and Wasilla, where hundreds are learning how to improve their health through a whole-foods, low-fat, plant-based diet.
Food for Life Nutrition and Cooking Classes are offered as a 7 week series, meeting weekly for 7 weeks. Each class is 2 hours and consists of nutritional education and a cooking demonstration, with an opportunity for participants to then sample the healthy and delicious food.
