Check Your Health: Food as medicine
KUTV — Most people want a healthier lifestyle, but it isn’t always easy to make changes. However, we have a lot of resources to help Utahns make those changes.
Food as Medicine is a FREE 3-part virtual workshop series available to all Utahns. This webinar will teach you how to use food and a healthy lifestyle to prevent and help treat chronic illness. Each session includes a cooking demonstration, expert advice to help you make healthy lifestyle changes, and an introduction to evidence-based wellness programs offered in Utah.
Experts from USU Extension Nutrition or the University of Utah Wellness Bus will provide a cooking demo at each session. You’ll get easy, low cost ways to eat healthy, and learn the best ways to do things like chop an onion or make recipe substitutions. You’ll also get lots of great practical advice about how to include healthy foods that many Utahns don’t eat enough of, like nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables, and seafood.
Everyone who signs up will get a free e-recipe book filled with delicious recipes like:
- Instant pot white bean stew
