Healthy Eating Club (HEC)

I came across the following website today and you may find it useful and informative:

Healthy Eating Club (HEC) http://www.healthyeatingclub.org/

HEC is headed by a medical nutritionist, Professor M Wahlqvist, and nutrition scientist/dietitian, Dr A Kouris-Blazos.

It provides a short on-line course in healthy eating, an on-line 6 week wellness program, internet TV channel "Healthy Moments", downloadable dietary assessment tools, authoritative fact sheets, latest in nutrition research (monthly newsletter), PhDs in nutrition, books, CDs, exercise videos, recipes and more.

HEC is also concerned with eco-nutrition i.e ways in which we can help the environment/universe through our eating habits.


For more information about HEC, see below.

hThis site is different from most other nutrition web-sites in that it has at its helm Australia's most respected medical nutritionist, Professor Mark Wahlqvist. His role as editor-in-chief, not only ensures that the content is accurate and up-to-date, but also provides the opportunity to canvas some of his visionary and cutting edge ideas.

The healthy eating club or HEC is also different from other sites because it is not JUST a web-site. It is a club, because a club environment lends itself to facilitating changes to one's food habits through interaction with other members both virtually and through organised functions. T

The HEC uses novel methods to help members achieve their goals.

The club is a group of individuals who subscribe to and encourage a universally safe, nutritious and sustainable food supply.

Its members respect food cultural difference and enjoy its celebration.

The club welcomes food cultural advancement and fusion and wishes to network this vision.

The club provides up-to-date reliable food and health information with resources and feedback to develop healthy eating patterns amongst its members and throughout society.

Its approach is not one of diet dogma and self denial, but of health improvement through the small steps, of great consequence, which "lifestyle synergy" allows. The club's endpoints are well-being, health and longevity.
