Optimal Nutrition for All Ages, Culinary Nutrition for the Early Years and Beyond

Описание: Every bite counts, from our first 1,000 days of life and throughout our lifetime. Experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, Women, Infants and Children’s (WIC) and now for the first time ever, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, recommend introducing babies to solid foods, like beef, as a complementary first food to ensure they get vital nutrients to optimize growth and development. This practice also provides babies with the opportunity to explore new tastes, textures and colors, while teaching them to enjoy food from the start.

Additionally, the Guidelines emphasize that as it’s never too early to focus on nutrition, it’s also never too late to improve one’s eating pattern. Adults in their 20’s, 40’s, 80’s, and beyond can benefit from focusing on vital nutrients in their everyday food choices to support healthy living and aging while reducing the risk of chronic disease across the lifespan.

In this unique webinar, plus cooking demo, chef and registered dietitians, Abbie Gellman, MS, RDN, CDN, and Julie Lopez, RD, will edu-tain you with recipe ideas, tips, and tricks to incorporate more nutrient-dense food choices in your kitchen with practical application strategies for clients/patients/caregivers.
