Details
Dr. Bonnie Kaplan will present a webinar entitled: Nutrition is the Foundation of Our Brain and Mental Health
Topics covered will include sources of micronutrients (minerals and vitamins), their contribution to brain function, and the evidence base proving their importance in mental health. Recommendations will be provided for how to incorporate this information into clinical practice. Other related topics will be touched upon, such as the evidence that nutrients can prevent dementia, and the role of a healthy gut microbiome. Finally, very recent evidence will be presented that shows increased prenatal supplementation reduces perinatal mood and anxiety as well as preterm births.
This is a free webinar hosted by the Alliance Against Violence and Adversity (AVA) in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary.
