Food for Life Cancer Project
The Power of Food for Cancer Prevention and Survival. Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping cancer survivors to live longer, healthier lives. Numerous studies have shown that a diet built from plant foods offers the most cancer-fighting protection of any diet plan. Reviews by the American Institute for Cancer Research showed that as much as 40% of cancer risk may be related to diet. This is your opportunity to acquire knowledge about the link between diet and cancer, experience the benefits of plant-based nutrition, and learn the practical cooking skills needed to help you on your journey to better health. In our classes, attendees do all of this while enjoying a cooking demonstration and tasting delicious, healthful dishes. This class will be held live on Zoom weekly from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm EST. The 4-week course will begin Saturday October 19, 2024 and will continue weekly for 4 weeks with the last class on Saturday November 9, 2024.
