Discover how your body works and the rainbow of foods and nutrients which help your body to function at its best. These six classes focus on the needs of older adults and how Food can affect the aging experience. Each week for 6 weeks we will look at common health conditions and concerns with a food plan that supports our well-being. We will learn to improve digestion, strengthen muscles and bones, protect our brain and heart, quiet chronic inflammation, care for gallbladder, liver, and kidneys, and understand our lymphatic system.

Beginning fall term on Thursday, September 28 in the Sorensen dining room, classes will be held weekly from 10:30 am to noon until November 16. However, due to a scheduling conflict with the monthly ASC Membership meeting, there will be no class sessions on the third Thursday of each month. So there will be only six classes for this coming Spring term rather than the usual eight.

The first class topics will be chosen from among the hundreds of PBS Nova series but there will be other sources we use to meet the expectations of class members. The goal is to make discovering a wide variety of science topics a more enjoyable and rewarding experience which is sure to attract more members to science.

Humanist Discussions is a group effort on Zoom in which we explore various aspects of the human condition. Each week we nominate and select a topic to discuss the following week. Over the intervening week, we exchange websites and articles pertaining to the topic selected. There is no requirement to review them, but the discussion is much improved when members of the group have made an effort to inform themselves about the upcoming topic. All are welcome to join.

Classes are held Monday mornings from 10:00 to noon. To join, send an email to todlundy@gmail.com with “Humanist Discussions” in the title of your email please.
