Sample a tasty plant-based dish. Yummers!About this EventFATS in Action!All FATS are LIVELY.No, fats don't act like inert couch potatoes!Each fat has a specific structure and function which dictates its important role in our body. Fats perform like dancers tightly synchronized in a major theater choreography, each dependent upon the other for cues and timing. The Fat dance might be likened to the continual movement of 4,000 Emperor Penguins of Antarctica who huddle together, constantly moving. While penguins move to keep warm, fat cells perform in ways that keep our body systems balanced. Fats and their dance affect our whole body health and wellness 24/7.In this class, we look forward to delightfully delving into the dance of our fats so that you may be inspired to embrace a few "dance notations" yourself and enjoy the feel of being light on your feet (in sync with a relaxed blood pressure), quick in your thoughts (a high-kicking brain), and breathing easily (more rhythmical) throughout your days.Nature's design is beyond brilliant!.
