New Recipe for Healthy Cooking Class
July 26, 2018Time change makes class more appealing
Yuma, AZ (July 26, 2018) – Interested in incorporating healthy cooking methods into your daily lifestyle?
Arizona Western College is offering a Healthy Cooking class at a new time this fall to help students develop the skills to choose, cook, and eat healthy foods.
The course will be offered on Thursday evenings beginning Aug. 23, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. The time change makes the class more accessible for those who want to take advantage of the opportunity, but are unable to do so during normal working hours.
With 36 years of culinary teaching experience, Chef Debbie Face will help students understand how they can maintain good health, encourage a healthy lifestyle through food choices, and introduce a variety of cooking methods that can be accomplished at all skill levels.
The course emphasizes the role diet plays in preventing and controlling various disorders such as obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, autoimmune disorders, and more. Current food controversies will be discussed with students drawing their own conclusions from the practical application of nutrition and biology. The class is based on the nutritional guidelines of many physicians and specialists that are now incorporating Functional Medicine in their practices.
Face has taught culinary courses at the high school and college level as well as at the Yuma Regional Medical Center Cancer Center. She’s also been asked to be a guest speaker at several area RV parks on the topic of, “Food as Medicine.” Face has experience working in local restaurants and teaching about catering too.
