Program Description The idea of “Green Health Care” encourages health professionals and individuals to focus on prevention, self-care, and education about nutrition, staying well, and treatment options. In this conversation, we are joined by two Bay Area experts who offer important leading-edge programs about living green. Some of the ideas we explore include:
* the definition of green healthcare and how can you find these practitioners * why education about nutrition is so vital to your well-being * choosing safe and healthy products from “farm to fork” * the reasons people tend to eat more when eating with others * navigating though the double messages we get from our culture and the media * daily choices for optimal health that affect your body, mind and soul
