Are you frustrated will all the conflicting information in raw foods nutrition?
Have you ever wanted to study nutrition but don't want
to learn standard nutrition?
During this course the Dr. Graham
will break down the basic concepts of
text-book nutrition from a raw-food perspective.
And provide you with
the
understanding you need to develop a healthful raw diet.
Along with a
personal diet and lifestyle evaluation you will also learn about:
- acid/alkaline balance
- the role and function of vitamins
- the body's true nutrient ratio requirements
- about carbohydrates and why we need them
- the role of protein in the diet
- the best sources of bio-available proteins
- the basic functions and roles of fats
- macro and micro minerals and trace elements
- the basic uses of water in the body
- what constitutes a healthy body composition
- evaluating superfoods and supplements
- how nutrients are affected by cooking
- the best sources of water, vitamins and minerals
- how to design your own healthy diet
