VSDC Veganuary Lunch/Learn: Boost Your Immunity with Lifestyle Changes

Please join us at noon for a presentation by Gwyn Whittaker on how to improve your immunity and reduce your risk for the winter surge of viral illness with a discussion of protein storage and quality, the impact of exercise, microbiome, and the benefits of fiber in plants and mushrooms.

Then, stay for lunch at 1 pm at the all-vegan and whole-food plant-based (WFPB) GreenFare Organic Cafe in Herndon, VA. You can preview GreenFare's menu. You can also join us just for lunch on a space-available basis.

As an added benefit, you can pick up organic, whole-plant pizzas after lunch, but you must order them by calling (703) 689-0506 by Wednesday. Flavors may include margherita, wild mushroom, southwestern, roasted veggie, or a seasonal dessert pizza. All are delicious and free of added salt, oil, and sugar. You can also order prepared meals; the menu varies, so call for more details.

If you are not familiar with a WFPB diet, you can read the quick overview provided.
