Osher Center for Integrative Health hosts free event with medical director Mladen Golubic, MD, PHD

No matter your current eating pattern or nutritional philosophy, if you want to obtain the biggest nutritional bang for your buck, you would be wise to eat more vegetables and fruits. These groups of plants, along with beans and whole grains, contain vitamins and minerals and a spectrum of health-promoting, biologically active nutritional compounds generally called phytonutrients that mediate “Food as Medicine” positive effects on our health.

Join the Osher Center for Integrative Health at UC and Medical Director Mladen Golubic, MD, PHD for a complimentary, virtual class including:

  • The key mechanisms by which these phytonutrients mediate “Food as Medicine” positive effects on our health
  • Reveal how you can start craving these foods
  • How to maximize these foods' health benefits by paying attention to how plants are grown, how fresh they are, and how they are stored and prepared.
