The Stein Institute Presents: Living for Longevity: The Nutrition Connection

Learn the right balance of foods to maximize your health and energy level through an anti-inflammatory eating plan. Vicky Newman, MS, RD, will pro­vide practical tips for controlling your weight, maintaining bone strength, and reducing the risk of common chronic diseases associated with aging. You will learn about foods that support your body’s immune and detoxifica­tion systems, how to maintain healthy (and happy) gut (GI system), and balance your fats to support your health and well-being. Also included will be a brief discus­sion about recent research linking diet and lifestyle to telomere length and longevity.

Ms. Newman has been involved in nutri­tion and behavior change research at UC San Diego for more than thirty-five years and has always focused on wellness and disease prevention. She is currently an associate clinical professor in the Depart­ment of Family and Preventive Medicine. As the director of Nutrition Services for the UC San Diego Cancer Prevention and Control Program, Ms. Newman manages the Healthy Eating and Living Program team of lifestyle counselors and assessors who work by phone with study partici­pants in San Diego and around the coun­try. During the past sixteen years at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, the team she leads has counseled nearly 3,000 people in clinical trials evaluating the impact of lifestyle change (especially diet and physical activity) on risk and progression of cancer.

Ms. Newman developed the cooking class curriculum and recipes that have now evolved into the Healing Foods Kitchen classes offered several times each month at Moores Cancer Center. Many of the favorite recipes from these classes are included in her book Food for Thought: Healing Foods to Savor, the second edition of which was pub­lished this summer.
