Ellen Blossman is scheduled to speak on the benefits of phytochemicals at this year’s Enmarket Encourage Health Education Series.
The 2016 Enmarket Encourage Health Education Series, which will take place Tuesday, June 21, will feature a presentation from Ellen Blossman, Ph.D., entitled “Eat Well and Boost Your Energy With Phytochemicals.” Blossman’s presentation is scheduled to be the second of four lectures in the series.
The lecture will be hosted from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Auditorium of the Savannah Morning News, located at 1375 Chatham Parkway in Savannah, Ga.
“The goal of this presentation is to raise awareness of the role of phytochemicals for our health and inspire the audience to choose nutrient-dense foods that will boost the immune system and, thereby, promote better health,” Blossman said.
A healthy lunch will be provided to attendees. Attendance is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required at Healthy Savannah’s website, http://healthysavannah.org/event-signup-form-eat-well-and-boost-your-energy-with-phytochemicals/.
While scientific research supports the role of vitamins, minerals and enzymes for our health, Blossman plans to bring another nutritional category, called phytochemicals, to our attention. Now that scientists are now able to measure and classify them, and have found they contain “anti-aging, anti-disease, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.”
