Louise Nadeau from Cobourg was the guest speaker at the September meeting of the Tweed and District Horticultural Society. Louise is a plant based and whole foods chef and coach offering workshops on this topic. Her presentation highlighted ways for people to incorporate more plant based foods in their daily diet.
As Louise stated throughout her presentation, “Our body wants to be healthy!” How to do this…
-cut out processed food which also helps to eliminate glutton
-add 1 green drink per day either as a smoothie or juice
-move from products to produce
-get support from family and friends
-exercise…walking and even just moving around is good
-be mindful of what and when you eat
-add sprouts to diet
-nuts and seeds should be soaked as the soaking wakes them up and they become alive and more nutritious
During the presentation, Louise demonstrated how she grows her sprouts…a handful of sprouts beats out any multivitamin. She discussed the process of dehydration which she uses to make crackers.
Members were invited to sample sweet potatoes and zucchini mixed with a red pepper dressing. Sprouts were added. There were also energy bars to taste.
