In the 20th century, the burden of disease shifted more dramatically than any other period of documented human history -- and so too did the food system. As diets shifted from locally-sourced and freshly-prepared to globally-sourced and industrially-processed, disease shifted from acute and infectious to chronic and lifestyle-induced. In this session, Dr. Slater will discuss general tenets of nutrition and specific medicinal foods to improve health and reduce disease. The session will begin with practical comparisons of different types of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, as well as their food sources. Dr. Slater will then discuss the clinical utility, active constituents, and dosing considerations of common medicinal foods, such as tea, turmeric, garlic, and pepper.
