IDS 2023 Sessions

Food Pairing: An Evidence-Based Practical Guide - 0.5 CME Credits Day One: Friday, October 27, 2023 | 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM PDT

Description: It's not just what we eat that matters but also how we eat. Research suggests how we pair different foods and what precedes or follows food intake can impact multiple health factors such as nutrient absorption, blood sugar levels, and weight management. This talk will present an up-to-date research review on food sequence and various micro- and macronutrient combinations. Additionally, clinicians will receive practical takeaways for themselves and their patients on combining specific ingredients from their local grocery store and particular activities like mindfulness and movement with their everyday meals and snacks.

Learning Objectives:
- Participants will review the effects of various food combinations on nutrient absorption.
- Participants will explain how different food ingredients can be paired with meals to support blood glucose regulation.
- Participants will identify mindfulness and physical activity practices that can be paired with nutrition to optimize health outcomes.Speaker
