WHAT IS CULINARY MEDICINE?
|
Culinary Medicine is simply the art of cooking for health. As defined by the American College of Preventive Medicine, it is the practice of helping patients use nutrition and good cooking habits to restore and maintain health. It’s a new field that combines important scientific principles related to nutrition, behaviour and medicine. Culinary medicine offers a simple approach to understand how food and cooking relate to personal health, habits, and health care goals. It is an important self-care tool studied by medical professional and implemented at the practitioner level to better counsel patients and improve health outcomes.
This Course is open for medical practitioners, allied health professionals, chef, and anyone who has chronic disease that can be addressed by lifestyle modification. |

WHAT FOLLOWS AFTER THE SWALLOWS?
Very few are interested in carefully reading food labels, ingredients used and the nutritional descriptions before buying them from the market and finally end up in our table for a daily routine consumption. There seem to be a need for individuals to understand how food is processed and where does everything goes after every swallows. Perhaps it is a must for everyone to at least effectively equip ourselves with basic knowledge on the digestion, absorption, elimination and some biochemical processes in the body. After all, EATING is the most enjoyable necessity that everyone has and everyone does.
