Lifestyle B - Rebuild your Health - February 26, 2011

Sat 10:00-4:00pm

This class truly is the basis of health and VITALITY!!!!  Ann Wigmore's health philosophy - learn what is taught in Puerto Rico right here at home.

The Living Food LIfestyle consists of uncooked nutritious foods such as greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, and sprouted seeds from which we create salads, cultured foods, dehydrated snacks, Rejuvelac (spritz), wheatgrass juice, and the famous "ENERGY SOUP'.  The food is high-enzyme, cholorophyll-rich and extremely easy to digest so that your body can receive optimal nourishment while devoting very little energy to the digestive process.  This helps the body to achieve homeostasis by freeing energy to be used for healing, wellness, and disease prevention.   

This is the perfect class for a person looking for a 'HEALTHY HOME FOOD STORAGE' program.   REBUILD YOUR HEALTH...use your food storage...Grow your own greens....fresh, vibrant, and available to increase a person's VITALITY. This is an indoor gardening experience year round....you can have fresh greens even if the shipping trucks were unable to deliver food for a time.

Asian Fusion Class Description

Everyone loves to eat with their hands and to take food "to go"--which explains the popularity of finger foods such as sandwiches. But the typical sandwich is high in carbs and can leave you feeling weighed down. Asian wraps, such as spring rolls and nori rolls, are the solution to energizing food on the go. Pair these wraps with other delicious entrées, sides, and dessert for an over-the-top pan-Asian feast!

In Asian Fusion you will learn:

  • How to roll picture-perfect vegetarian sushi and spring rolls.
  • How to use fresh, young coconuts to make homemade Thai coconut soup.
  • How to make a vegetable teriyaki that tastes just like the traditional version—without heated oil, MSG, or white sugar.
  • How to make a light, colorful, and refreshing tropical fruit sundae—the perfect finale for any Asian-themed meal.

Cost:
88 dollars
