Discover Maimonides’ holistic approach to health and nutrition and its relevance to modern wellness practices, particularly for aging individuals. A renowned medieval Jewish philosopher and physician, Maimonides emphasized balance, moderation, and
the connection between body and mind. Participants will examine his recommendations for diet, exercise, and emotional well–being, drawing parallels with contemporary health guidelines for nutrition, heart health, and longevity. We will cover how his teachings, such as focusing on plant–based foods and mindful eating, align with today’s best practices for aging gracefully and maintaining overall well–being, offering timeless insights for a balanced lifestyle.
