Nutrition Essentials for Everyone

Eating for Health and Vitality

Nutrition Essentials for Everyone (NEE) is a six (6) lesson on-line self-paced video, workbook and peer-to-peer learning program for schools, employees, consumers, companies, and organizations 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. It is free of dogma, product promotion or dietary bias. It helps 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.
