Headline: Myth vs. Warrior Truth
The Sickle Cell Warrior is no stranger to the pain of Inflammation, yet there is a Myth that foods have to be rich in animal products (heavy on meat and fats) in order to taste good and meet physical needs.
The Warrior Truth: Animal products, fats, and processed oils cause inflammation and chronic inflammation is the enemy of the Warrior.
Plant-powered fats (like avocado and seeds) help soothe your system and keep your blood flowing smoother. Wouldn’t it help to know how to make plant-powered foods delicious? You can use food as medicine to protect and support your body EVERYDAY! That’s the point of these sessions!
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in learning more about—the science of using food as medicine and intentionally making nutritious food taste really great—join us at FUELING THE WARRIOR: THE POWER OF THE PLATE Our topic this time: "Beyond the DNA: How the Power of the Plate Drives Gene Therapy Success" Modern science and ancestral wisdom agree: The Power of the Plate is your tactical advantage to be successful before, during and after gene therapy.
This is a free online event on Thursday, August 20th from 6-8 pm CT.
Registration is free and open to all. So, Warriors, invite your support partners and those in your circle of influence because this experience is too good to pass up.
