 Exploring Whole Food Nutrition and Gut Health

The primary objective of this week’s session was to provide valuable insights and advanced culinary knowledge regarding specialized preparation techniques for creating delicious, gluten-free ice cream using exclusively healthy, whole food ingredients rather than processed or traditional alternatives. The session commenced with an engaging theoretical presentation delivered to the participants, which included both university students and staff members. During the lecture, Dietitian Harez Yasin Taifour thoroughly explained the nutritional principles of using whole food alternatives, emphasizing how natural ingredients positively influence gut health and support individuals managing gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
