Churches offer healthy eating courses

Two Peninsula churches are offering separate healthy eating courses starting this month.

A course promoting healthy eating will begin at the Woy Woy Seventh-Day Adventist Church hall on Thursday, October 29.

Facilitator Ms Dorothy Pansare of Umina said the course would include discussions on the importance of healthy eating and cooking demonstrations allowing participants to sample sweet and savoury foods.

"Television and radio personality Sami Lukis, a vegetarian since the age of nine, says that eating too much meat may have an impact on our health and a very real impact on the environment," Ms Pansare said.

"The course will take place every Thursday from 10am commencing on October 29.

"Each session will cost $5 per person."

Accredited dietician Ms Angela Saunders said: "Including more plant based foods in our diet provides a number of health benefits including protection from common lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers".

Woy Woy Seventh-Day Adventist Church is located at 83 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy.

For more information, contact 4341 4400 or 4365 6981.

Meanwhile, an eight-week course encouraging participants to use "food as medicine" will be held at the Good News Church in Umina from October 20.

Passionate about seeing people regain their health, Peninsula residents Ms Jenny Taylor and Ms Sue Shaw will lead the Disease Proof Your Life course.

"There are a lot of sick people in the world today, and the truth is, it really doesn't have to be this way and the secret to health is really not all that complicated," Ms Taylor said.

Since losing her father to cancer 15 years ago, Ms Taylor said she has discovered that "diseases don't just happen" and believes that "just about all" chronic diseases can be reversed and are preventable.

Ms Taylor said she would "love to share" with participants what she has learned over the years of studying "food as medicine, and the simple steps one can take to walk disease free".

The eight-week course includes a 40-minute DVD presentation each night, food demonstrations, taste testing, recipes and free CDs.

"Come along and hear this lifesaving message," Ms Taylor said.

"To really cure any illness, one must eliminate the cause, address the deficiency and toxicity issue.

"If you alkalize your body, disease cannot occur.

"There are thousands of people all over the world who have cured the incurable.

"It's affordable to all and can be a very easy strategy to adopt to ensure maximum nutritional excellence on a daily basis."

The course will be held every Tuesday night from 7.30pm to 9pm, commencing October 20 through to December 8, at a cost of $5 per session.

The Good News Church is located at the corner of West and Norman Sts, Umina, above Mum's Seafood Kitchen.
