Description
- Culinary medicine uses an evidence-based approach to translate nutrition research into practical use in order to bring medicine and cooking together 1
- Medical schools are bringing in culinary medicine programs so that prehealth students can relate to their patients in the clinical setting when sharing necessary dietary changes
- Obesity is one of the leading risk factors for early death – From 1990 to 2017, globally, deaths due to obesity has increased by 78%2
- By introducing culinary medicine at the undergraduate level into a first year course, we hope to track the students in the course throughout their four years at Calvin to see if there has been any changes in lifestyle as a result of completion of the course
