Sugar Awareness Workshop in Estoril

SUGAR AWARENESS WORKSHOP
Do you sometimes feel guilty about the amount of sugar you eat?  Do you often feel the need to reduce your sugar intake? 
We are repeatedly told to cut down on sugar. But do you actually know why? Why is sugar demonised in our diet? And How can we actually avoid too much sugar?

Join this eye-opening and fun 2 day workshop at the House of Zen, a tranquil environment which will be perfect for you to take this insightful Sugar Awareness Workshop led by food expert Maryam Madantji. We will gain essential knowledge on the importance of sugar in our diet, why most of us crave it so much, why we need to keep an eye on the sugar levels in our system, as well as what a healthy sugar intake means. Being knowledgeable about sugar and all of its aspects will surely be the best starting point for you to be aware and in control of your own sugar intake. Please see workshop details bellow.
