Event Description

In toddlers and children, allergies take many different forms such as sneezing, runny nose, asthma, hives, stomach aches, sleep problems, and behaviour problems. There are many contributing factors. A common factor is sensitivity or intolerance to certain foods. Come learn the underlying process and root causes of allergies, how they are related to food, and what you can do to protect your children. You will walk away with the knowledge and tools to identify and avoid suspect foods, and choose healthy options.

Facilitator: Nikoo Boroumand is passionate about health and nutrition. She is a certified nutritional practitioner from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and also a Chartered Herbalist from Dominion Herbal College.

Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
