ForwardWebinar: Traditional Diets in Focus: The Benefits of the Nordic Diet
Research increasingly documents the benefits of traditional eating patterns around the world. While the Mediterranean Diet has garnered the most research, other traditional diets are emerging with similar benefits, including the traditional Nordic Diet, or the cultural foodways of countries in Scandinavia. Like the Mediterranean Diet, the Nordic dietary pattern includes fish as the main animal protein, as well as pulses, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, like rye.
Join Sharon Palmer, MSFS, RDN, who has studied traditional diet patterns over the past three decades, on Thursday, April 15, 2021 from 2-3 p.m. ET, for a webinar that will provide an in-depth view of the traditional Nordic Diet, including its history, food components, scientific research, and strategies for embracing this eating pattern.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, nutrition professionals will be better able to:
- Synthesize the health and environmental benefits the traditional Nordic Diet has on people and communities.
- Understand the nutritional significance of whole grains, including rye, on eating patterns and human health.
- Adopt strategies that can be implemented in daily practice that promote healthy eating choices based on traditional Nordic diet patterns.
