The Fundamentals of Plant Based Nutrition Course

The world is changing and so are the foods we eat. There is a shift towards more plant-based eating with an estimated 19% of the World population now identifying as either vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian.

A further 1 in 3 people are cutting down on, or eliminating, meat from their diets. This is a fast-growing global phenomenon and one that forecasters predict is here to stay. Individuals are choosing plant-based diets for health, animal welfare and environmental reasons. Whatever the motive, it is vital that those shifting to a plant-based lifestyle understand the key elements required to optimise health.

This course was designed in collaboration with leading plant-based Nutritional Therapist and IHS graduate Chris Peare of Green Lemon Nutrition

We will explore:

• The different approaches to plant-based eating: vegetarianism, veganism, flexitarianism and plant-slant
• The potential health benefits of a plant-based diet
• Maximising nutrient intake on a plant-based diet
• The individual and powerful health benefits of a variety of plant foods
• Optimising your diet, including fermenting, sprouting and eating a rainbow
• Becoming more plant-based: practical support with meal planning, cooking, shopping and eating out
