Plants and health

Our lifestyles and today's fruit and vegetables often mean that our diet does not provide our bodies with the necessary nutrients. Did you know that you would have to eat 50 apples today to get the same nutritional quality as an apple from 50 years ago? Selected for their ability to travel miles in lorries and not for their taste or nutritional qualities, today's fruit and vegetables no longer provide us with the nutrients we need. We are deficient, sometimes without even knowing it. Wild plants will come to our rescue in our daily diet or to supplement our vitamins and minerals and boost our immune system.

But plants don't just feed us, they also provide us with wellbeing and health.

During this course, we'll explore various ways of achieving health through plants. Connecting with nature, nutrition and family herbalism will help us to cope better with today's world.
