Cultura y alimentacion
¿Por qué comemos lo que comemos? ¿Qué influye en nuestras decisiones alimentarias? ¿Cómo podemos tomar control sobre nuestra salud? ¿Es posible prevenir enfermedades crónicas a largo plazo con una dieta basada en plantas?
Desde una perspectiva psicológica, sociológica y médica, existen respuestas a estas preguntas. En esta charla, la psicóloga y cocinera basada en plantas, Vanessa Sossa Sánchez, compartirá información clave sobre estos temas y más. Antes de encontrar respuestas, es importante que nos cuestionemos: ¿cómo nuestras creencias y el entorno social influyen en nuestra forma de alimentarnos?
El conocimiento sobre cómo hemos aprendido a percibir el mundo y nuestra alimentación se basa en sistemas de creencias que nuestra sociedad ha establecido. Empoderarnos con esta información nos permitirá dar pasos activos para mejorar nuestra salud y bienestar.
En esta charla hablaré sobre:
● Cómo la alimentación influye en nuestra salud física y mental.
● Deficinición de carnismo, un término introducido por la psicóloga, autora y educadora Melanie Joy
● Definición de una dieta basada en plantas y alimentos integrales, y cómo está puede prevenir, tratar y curar enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes, colesterol alto, hipertensión, entre otras. Bajo el soporte científico del Comité de médicos para una medicina repsonsable
● Herramientas valiosas para tomar control sobre nuestra salud.
● Recursos disponibles para la comunidad hispano hablante en la ciudad de Nueva York y en todo el mundo.
Acompáñame en esta charla el miércoles 16 de octubre de 2024, a las 7:00 P.M. en MayDay Space. Reserva tu lugar en este link y no dudes en invitar a un amigue para que aprendamos juntes.
Este mismo día ocurre el #díamundialdelaalimentación #worldfoodday donde Food and Agriculture Organizartion of the UNited Nations (@fao) celebra el principio universal para la vida y el más fundamental derecho de los seres humanos -y tengo que decir que también el de los animales no humanos.
