Wellness Wednesday Winter Themed Pot Luck

Wednesday, December 18 *1 – 2 pm: Erdle Lounge

Our Monthly Plant Based Whole Foods Pot-Luck will follow after Wellness Wednesday 12/18 1pm – 2pm Erdle Lounge

In Lifestyle Medicine, we teach patients how to incorporate more plants in their diet on a regular basis. The evidence surrounding the benefits of a more plant predominate diet continues to emerge for preventing a number of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Did you know consuming beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains can help you live longer and have improved quality of life, all from plants! Evidence based research shows plants help aid in brain health, energy level, weight loss, GI issues, improved immunity, enhance sleep and the list goes on and on. Variety is key and new research shows we should be aiming for 30 different types plants per week.

We encourage you to try a new recipe and/or put plant-based spin on oldie but goodie. If you are short of time and don’t feel like cooking, whole foods work just fine! Utensils provided.

If you need ideas on what to bring, please visit our plant-based library in the Rochester Regional Health office across the walking track. If Trudy is not available, please email her to set up a date and time to visit:   [email protected]
