Wise Traditions Ireland 2016 Conference at Thomond Park

Published

on

Wise Traditions Ireland 2016 are hosting another event in Limerick following last year’s successful conference, Wise Traditions Ireland 2016 will be held on February 6 and 7, at Thomond Park in Limerick. It will tackle some key issues with regards to healthy eating, with real fats, real food and real nutrition as the main theme.

The food we eat is a fundamental aspect of our lives, yet we seem to have lost perspective on what it takes to create a vitality that spans generations. How can we find clarity in a world increasingly confused about how to achieve robust health?

In search of the perfect diet, different foods have fallen in and out of favour over the generations. It has always been a hot topic and the narrative has always been dominated by powerful vested interests. A rising tide of researchers and well informed food experts are bucking the trend and embracing the very foods shunned by the dietary guidelines, only to experience dramatic results with conditions like diabetes, weight loss and compromised immune function.

A recent article in the Wise Traditions Ireland 2016British Medical Journal asks the question – could the “experts” be wrong? Are our current dietary guidelines driving rather than solving our chronic epidemics? This conference will give you crucial insights to help navigate this complex subject. Drawing from a huge body of research, our line-up of world class speakers will share their discoveries about the very misunderstood yet essential role that dietary fat plays in our health, and most importantly, in the health of our children.
