“Our unique cooking and nutrition classes and programs teach young doctors how to use this philosophy and guide their patients towards incorporating more plant-based and whole foods more easily into their diet.” - Dr. Robert Graham

Post this

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 04, 2014 -- On March 10, 2014, Dr. Robert Graham, Associate Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program and Director of Integrative Health & Therapies at Lenox Hill Hospital, will return to Natural Gourmet Institute (NGI) to teach medical interns and residents from Lenox Hill Hospital how to cook delicious, healthy and meatless dishes. The health-supportive cooking class, to be held during National Nutrition Month, is part of an ongoing series by Fare Wellness, a program developed by Dr. Graham and his wife Julie Graham, a certified health coach and yoga instructor. Launched in 2012, Fare Wellness works to educate healthcare professionals about better food selection and preparation and its impact on health and wellness.

“For centuries we have heard that food is the most powerful “drug” we have for health--not just to prevent, but also to treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses,” says Dr. Graham. “Our unique cooking and nutrition classes and programs teach young doctors how to use this philosophy and guide their patients towards incorporating more plant-based and whole foods more easily into their diet.”

The goal is for doctors to learn to live, cook and eat by example, enabling and empowering them to become role models and teachers for their patients. Inspired by the popular Meatless Monday campaign, Lenox Hill Hospital residents selected for the Monday, March 10th class submitted an original meatless recipe and heartfelt essays addressing how this culinary and nutritional education program will prepare them to discuss food-related choices with their patients.

The evening’s menu will feature the vibrant flavors of South East Asia, including: coconut squash soup, vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce, hot & spicy leaf wraps, green papaya salad, seared pepper tofu with yunnan greens, vegetarian massaman curry, steamed eggplant oop, stir – fry rice noodles and banana coconut tapioca. Chef Richard LaMarita created the menu and will lead cooking instruction and Laura Rosenberg, MS, RD, CDN will present the nutritional profile of the menus from a clinical perspective.

Natural Gourmet Institute is the perfect match for Dr. Graham’s program, as it was founded on the principle that what you eat significantly effects your health. NGI is excited to bring their knowledge to the front line of the medical community by empowering doctors with the tools to bring healthful cooking to their patients. “Dr. Graham is truly a visionary in the medical community. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Lenox Hill Hospital to address the knowledge gap in nutritional education and its impact on health and wellness,” said Anthony Fassio, CEO Natural Gourmet Institute.
