NY-NJ Chapter's 50th Anniversary
Spring Dinner Bash

Are we what we eat ? Are we building house with cardboard ? How does food impact our health ? Can we make a difference in our body by adding, changing or eliminating certain foods from our daily fare ? What about environmental factors ? See which foods may weaken our energy reserves, reduce our immune response, make our blood overly thick, add fat to our blood vessels, and increase inflammation. Learn about foods to benefit our heart and circulation, our bones and muscles, our skin, our digestion, our immune system. Begin to consider what soy products, herbal and green teas, fatty fish, nuts and seeds, the mustard and allium families, whole grains, richly colored fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, and more add to your life.
