Food For Life Class ~ FOOD FOR FITNESS

For centuries, athletes have been following plant-based diets to achieve a competitive advantage. Recently, plant-based diets are gaining popularity in a variety of sports. Perhaps that’s because vegan athletes are leading in endurance sports, weightlifting, and even Formula One racing.

However, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from a plant-based diet. A low-fat vegan diet comprising whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables provides the ideal fuel for any physical activity. It also demonstrates qualities for enhanced recovery over high-fat and animal-based diets.

The Food for Life: Food for Fitness class aims to empower attendees (all of us, novice or pro) with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare simple, nutritious meals that fuel optimal fitness and recovery. Learn how to "Love the Foods that Love YOU back!"

This two-hour class features a video, a discussion, and the opportunity to taste plant-based dishes following a cooking demonstration. It is designed to provide an excellent overview of plant-based foods for optimal fitness for "The Athlete Inside Us All!"

You will glean Resources and Recipes, as well as be able to ask your important Questions in an informative Q & A Session.
