“The term ’Super-food‘ is used to describe a food considered especially nutritious and beneficial to health and well-being”, says Paula Curtiss, Director for Healing Hands School of Holistic Health (HHSHH). “Nutritional Superfoods are an essential part of any holistic self-care program. Not only do they supply our bodies with the energy we need, they provide the essential nutrients that repair and build bone, muscle, and other body tissues. Other well-known health benefits of nutritional Super-foods include: reducing or preventing inflammation, regulating your metabolism and burning fat, reducing bad cholesterol and high blood pressure, and protect us against cancers and heart disease.” she added.
“At HHSHH, the Directors of Education understand the importance of good nutrition and have incorporated three great ‘nutrition’ classes into the curriculum” said Harmony Curtiss, Laguna Hills Campus Director. “These include: Health & Dietary Practices, that teaches how eating habits can affect an individual’s nutrition and health and Holistic Nutrition, which reviews the basic nutrients in food and examines how food affects the mind/body connection. Nutritional Super-foods, is yet another course that identifies a variety of Super-foods and discusses how each prevents disease and promotes wellness. This class explores the full spectrum of greens, from wheatgrass to seaweeds to fermented foods and more.” she continued.
All HHSHH’s nutrition classes give students a clearer understanding of how to use nutrition to facilitate optimal health for themselves, their clients and their loved ones. The classes also touch on food trends and recent research; such as how combining specific Super-foods can unlock more nutritional value than eating them alone. Below are a few examples of how Super-food combos give you more nutritional bang for your bite!

Together in an omelet they become super-foods able to dramatically reduce the irritability and other symptoms that accompany monthly hormonal changes.
