DE0802: Diabetes Online CDE: Native Nutrition Principles and Menus Inspired by the Ancestors
Ancestral diets were nutrient dense and dictated by the ripening and returning of our foods. In return, our Ancestors lived free of common nutrition-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease, which are now among the top causes of mortality in our communities. While it may seem impossible for these diets to exist in a modern world, the principles of Native diets are just as applicable today as they were generations ago. In this training, we cover these topics and principles to support health interventions that are culturally centered and relevant. We also discuss the nutrient density of these foods as the remedy for common pervasive maladies.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Examine the principles and benefits of an Ancestral diet.
2. Identify food ingredients native to North America that promote nutritional wellness.
3. Differentiate between macro and micro nutrient consumption and their connection to health related issues for tribal communities.
