Did you know that a vegetarian diet is associated with numerous benefits - both for people and for the planet?These include:
Weight Management: Vegetarian diets are generally lower in calories and higher in fibre, which can lead to greater feelings of fullness and help maintain a healthy weight.
Heart Health: A vegetarian diet is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. This is largely due to lower levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, as well as higher levels of potassium and fibre.
Diabetes Prevention: Following a vegetarian diet may significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that vegetarians have about half the risk compared to non-vegetarians.
Cancer Risk Reduction: Consuming more plant-based foods has been linked to a decreased risk of certain cancers, particularly gastrointestinal cancers. The protective effects are attributed to higher intakes of antioxidants, vitamins, and fibre.
Gut Health Improvement: A diet rich in plant-based foods enhances gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, leading to improved digestion and overall health.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Fruits and vegetables are rich in anti-oxidants, which may help reduce inflammation in the body, alleviating conditions like arthritis.
Environmental Benefits: A vegetarian diet not only benefits personal health but also has positive implications for the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving resources.
Whether you are entirely vegetarian, or simply want to include more vegetarian meals in your diet, join us for this participatory workshop, in which we will prepare our own delicious, nutritious plant-based lunch!
Learn new recipes, ingredients and techniques, with flavours from around the world.
After lunch, you will have some free time to "nature bathe" - take a stroll down to the lake, or snowshoe along the forest trails.
