What is an Anti-Inflammatory Diet?
Since many diseases are linked to chronic, low grade inflammation, interest in anti-inflammatory diets is understandably great. There are many different dietary programs making anti-inflammatory diet claims, and much online chatter about certain categories of foods being inflammatory and others being anti-inflammatory. But what does the science actually say? This talk will introduce you to the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), a research based tool that offers science-based guidance as to what a truly anti-inflammatory diet looks like. It may surprise you! RLP Anti-Inflammatory Diet-2023
Eating for Longevity
Everyone seems to have a different opinion on what we should be eating… and what we shouldn’t. What is the best diet for us to follow: Mediterranean? Vegan? Keto? Gluten free? And who should we be listening to when it comes to advice on diet? We can gain a lot of insight into what an ideal dietary pattern looks like from the longest-living populations in the world—the centenarians of the world’s so-called “Blue Zones,” and examining their diet and lifestyle patterns can help answer the burning question of “What should I eat?” You’ll leave with answers to all your questions about whether breakfast is really so important, and what role seemingly controversial foods like carbs, gluten, dairy, soy and sugar play in the diets of the world’s healthiest, longest-living people.
