Why Learn the Longevity Diet?

“Those who think they have no time for healthy eating will sooner or later have to find time for illness. The heavens and the earth, the woods and the wayside, teem with instruction and knowledge to the curious and thoughtful.” -Hosea Ballou

Module 4 is our second Cooking Class with Melanie Ferreira. The topics covered in this Module include:

 

Testimonial

“Halfway through the morning of the first day of Melanie's class, a thought popped into my head: "I want to marry Melanie Ferreira." Her teaching blends just the right amount of scientific fact, kitchen know-how, no-nonsense practicality, story telling and wit to make learning with her a fun adventure. I loved the hands on aspect of the weekend.  I am tremendously impressed by her ability, and excited about implementing what I learned to nourish myself in a way that is delicious, easy, and will impact me and those around me in a positive way.  I loved the class, and can't wait until Melanie comes back. Watch out New York, California has designs on wooing Melanie away from you!” -Jennifer, CA Graduate

Good health is not only about what you eat, but also what you digest. You can eat the highest quality of food in the world and not be able to absorb the goodness of it if you don’t have the micro flora to digest it.

Probiotic foods help build up healthy bacteria and flora throughout the intestines that promotes good digestion. Pro means for, bio means life, therefore probiotic means “for life.” By contrast, antibiotic, which means “against life,” destroys bacteria both good and bad in our bodies.

Following is a list of probiotic foods

Lacto Fermentation

“Lacto fermentation is a process through which vegetables and fruits can be preserved for long periods of time without freezers and canning machines. Every long-lived culture in the world has consumed fermented vegetables, dairy and meat.  Aboriginal peoples of Australia buried sweet potatoes in the soil for months before removing and consuming them. Asian peoples make legendary pickled preparations of cabbage, turnip, eggplant, cucumber, onion, squash, and carrot, including kimchi” - Melanie Ferreira
