Food choices and nutritional imbalance can be important determinants of suboptimal health and chronic illnesses. This workshop explores the reasons why what we eat and how we eat it can tip the balance between state of disease and state of health.

We will discuss how we could rebalance the health effects of the food, and provide practical hacks in pantry ingredients and food swaps for healthier eating.

We will look at strategies to personalise our choice of functional therapeutic foods based on traditional wisdoms as well as modern nutrigenomics.

We will demonstrate how to prepare a delicious and healthy dinner party with minimal effect using functional food ideas discussed in the workshop.
