We are very excited to announce that Sonali Sadequee CHHC with Sustainable Wellness is collaborating with Sevananda Co-op and PCRM to bring a diabetes prevention food education series called Food for Life to Atlanta in 2012!

Sonali Sadequee, a Food for Life instructor trained by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting preventive medicine, will be offering a cooking class series designed to help local residents with type 2 diabetes avoid complications from the disease.

Food for Life: The Power of Food for Diabetes Nutrition and Cooking Class teaches participants how food choices can prevent and treat type 2 diabetes and arms them with practical cooking skills for making healthy and delicious meals. People who have type 2 diabetes, or concerns about developing diabetes, and their friends and family members will benefit from the class.

The class, designed by physicians, diabetes educators, registered dietitians, and professional chefs, offers an easy-to-follow dietary approach based on scientific research. Population studies and clinical research show that a plant-based lifestyle is effective at improving blood glucose levels, promoting weight loss, reducing cholesterol, and lowering the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Atlanta instructor, Sonali Sadequee CHHC, will cover important diabetes-nutrition topics and guide students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes. Participants will enjoy food samples of the recipes prepared in each class.
