An Introduction to Traditional Diets
Wednesday, November 18, 2015 – 6:00pm to 7:00pm
City Market (map)
Dietary practices that focus on ‘ancestral health’, among them the Paleo Diet, are growing in popularity. They can be more nutrient dense than modern diets, may include important micronutrients lacking in commonly consumed processed foods and can also reduce chronic inflammation and enhance gut health. But beyond the gimmicks and oversimplifications inherent in some of these popularized ancestral diets, what did ancient and traditional peoples actually eat and what value can we glean from their eating patterns? Dr. Eric Garza, leader of the Burlington Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation, will lead this class.
