Recorded Webinar: 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, for a recorded 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.
