Eat Plants: Prevent and Reverse Chronic Disease with a Whole Food Plant-Based Lifestyle!
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

Whole food, plant-based diets (WFPB) are supported by major medical organizations as an excellent strategy for optimizing health, losing weight, and significantly reducing risk for chronic disease such as Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and more. Nutrition science has even shown that some chronic diseases can be positively affected when people adopt a WFPB diet. This course teaches the evidence-based scientific reasons for why eating a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) diet offers many advantages to overall health, longevity, and disease prevention. It also presents the best strategies for designing and eating a well-balanced, plant-based diet. Throughout the course there will be video clips from several doctors specializing in different aspects of health and a dietician explaining the evidence and reasons why eating plants prepared in healthy ways promote health rather than disease. Resources will also be shared for healthy WFPB recipes. This course is valuable for anyone wanting to fully transition to a plant-based lifestyle or for those who want to simply add more healthy plant-based food into their present diet. Learn how to eat better and reduce medical suffering. I hope to see you in class.
