Planted Platter | Deb Czech

Discover the health benefits of plant-based eating, including boosting your mood. Watch three vegan recipe demos you can make at home.

Based on the book Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health by Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, this class addresses hormone-related conditions such as mood, anxiety, and depression. Dietary choices have a surprisingly powerful effect on hormones and the problems they cause. Evidence suggests that foods can help conquer moodiness and more serious mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. This class will explain the nutritional science that makes a plant-based diet helpful and demonstrate plant-based recipes participants can sample and easily make at home. Learn something new and build healthier eating habits by putting more plants on your plate! (And here’s some good news: when you eat a balanced plant-based diet, you don’t need to count calories or measure portions.)<h3>Class Benefits for You</h3>This plant-based nutrition and vegan cooking class will include:<ul><li>Supportive and motivating group discussion about how to incorporate delicious plant-based meals in your busy lifestyle </li><li>Informative handouts with plant-based nutrition tips for additional learning at home</li><li>A short, fact-based video segment presented by medical and nutrition experts from the Physicians Committee </li><li>Recipe demonstrations using inexpensive, wholesome, plant-based ingredients, with a copy of the recipes for you to try at home</li><li>Practical suggestions on replacing meat, dairy, and other animal products with tasty, plant-based ingredients</li><li>Tips for preparing healthy, low-cost vegan (plant-based) meals at home </li><li>Question/answer time </li><li>Follow-up newsletter with helpful tips, additional resources, and more recipes</li></ul>
