Eating for Health and Vitality

Nutrition Essentials for Everyone: Eating for Health and Vitality (NEE) is a six lesson, six-hour online self-paced video, workbook and peer-to-peer learning program for schools, employees, consumers, companies, clinics and health care professionals to learn the principles and practices of cooking for health, whole food nutrition and wellness lifestyle. Health care professionals can use NEE for patient education to support diet and lifestyle changes that will enable them to manage and reverse chronic, preventable disease. Each lesson runs for about one hour with recommendations for homework for viewers to practice during the week. A full color 272-page NEE PDF workbook is provided to support the video lessons and provide practical information, research, recipes and worksheets to track progress and challenges.

Learning Objective

Help participants recognize the value of eating fresh, whole, natural foods, that are diverse and respond to their own taste, temperament and cultural heritage. Mindful choice is the key to nutritional self-empowerment, rather than following the so-called “super diet of the month,” which often fails to match individual needs or long-term goals. The aim of NEE is to raise participant’s nutrition IQ and desire to prepare more nourishing foods at home for themselves and their family, as well as making better choices when eating out. NEE is free of dogma, product promotion or dietary bias.

The aim of the program is to motivate, educate and support participants to become passionately involved in creating health as a result of improving their diet choices and habits. When one prepares healthier, homemade meals, they build not only their self-efficacy and self-care, but inevitably share their meals and new learning with family, friends and associates expanding their circle of support and community of Eating for Health™ activists.

(NEE) Nutrition Essentials For Everyone Program Overview, Ed Bauman, PhD (2:09 min.)

Justification

The nutrition field has grown tremendously in the past 20 years. With the advent of the internet and mass communication, a glut of information has been provided on what various experts consider the ideal diet, from high complex carbohydrate plant-based diets to animal predominant Paleolithic or Ketogenic low complex carbohydrate diets.

The food jungle is crazy and overwhelming. Commercial media and marketing greatly influence primal food choices by encouraging people to eat what makes them happy, such as: soda, fast foods, pizza, burgers, fries, and high sugar, salt, starch and fat-laden snack foods.

When busy or stressed, folks reach for what is convenient, comforting and quick. People are used to eating on the run. Now, working from home, they order in, or buy heat and eat meals.

The bottom line is that is that many people lack the skills to prepare simple, nourishing whole foods. The cost of cheap food is paid in vulnerability to chronic mental and physical illness and infection, loss of productivity and quality of life.

Nutrition Essentials for Everyone provides a non-dogmatic learning environment whereby individuals, families and groups can learn the principles and practices of eating for health and happiness. This self-paced program can also have discussion groups led by Bauman Wellness facilitators to answer questions, and share progress, resistance and challenges that come up as people commit to modifying decades of less than healthy food habits and choices
