21 Acres: Food, Mood and You!

Eat Good Mood Food

It’s simple: eating the right foods can improve your mood and motivation. The mental benefits associated with preparing and eating wholesome meals begin with selecting ingredients for promoting your wellbeing.

Dr. Kathleen Pratt (http://www.nwnaturalhealth.com/blog/natural-health/food-mood-you/), a practitioner at Northwest Natural Health (http://www.nwnaturalhealth.com), and 21 Acres’ Chef Manager, Asako Sullivan (http://21acres.org/aboutus/people-making-it-happen/advisory-council#asako), join together to deliver strategies and tastes that will surely satisfy your brain. Learn how to boost your spirits naturally by ingesting foods known to increase neurotransmitters with a positive impact on mood. By emphasizing local and seasonal foods you can incorporate into just about any recipe, the presenters expect you will feel pretty darn good when the class is complete.

General fee is $35, discounted rate for 21 Acres members is $30. Class fees include tasty samples and class participants will leave with recipes and meal ideas to try at home. There are three ways to register; online at http://21acresfoodmood.eventbrite.com, by e-mailing deb@21acres.org or by calling us at 425-481-1500.
