Why Do You Need This Cooking Course?
Culinary Medicine Specialist is a designation that identifies clinicians, coaches, chefs and other practitioners who have the comprehensive knowledge on nutrition, culinary coaching and culinary skills simply blending the art of cooking for health.
Culinary medicine is not a gourmet cooking. It pairs the art of food preparation with the science of medicine. It is the practice of helping patients use nutrition and good cooking habits to restore and maintain health.
It's about teaching the why and the how behind low-cost, convenient, health-promoting, and delicious home-cooked meals, and healthy eating patterns.
It is as much about learning which foods reduce inflammation and promotes lowering of blood cholesterol as it is about how to properly slice an onion and cook food with rich flavors with enticing plate presentation.
More importantly, culinary medicine offers individuals an opportunity to practice culinary skills and taste new recipes alongside with health education, and all of which is taught in a way that effectively translates to home kitchen.
Culinary medicine is purely evidence-based field of medicine. In fact, a growing number of medical schools in the United States are increasing the education provided to their students on clinical nutrition by bringing medical students in the teaching kitchen. And now the Philippine College of Medicine brings the Culinary Medicine Certification Course in Asia.
