A New Year brings new hopes and new challenges in our personal and professional lives. Many of us have resolutions, goals, dreams we hope to accomplish and fulfill over the next year. Oftentimes we have made resolutions and then life somehow got in the way and the resolution was pushed to the next year and the next and so on. Learn how to build the strategies you need to achieve and sustain those resolutions so that this New Year can truly bring a New You!  
 
Light snacks and refreshments will be served by the Wellness Club.  Please RSVP by calling the store at 781-329-7100.

So, you think we’re all about food? Well, don’t take this wrong, but what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body.   The New Year is a natural time to think about giving the body a much-needed vacation to cleanse and plan for healthy weight loss.  Join us in the Whole Body Department and meet some of our vendors who have the best products to get you on the right path to wellness without compromising your wellbeing.  
  • While cleansing is an everyday function of the body, beginning a detox cleanse offers many benefits:
    • There are tens of thousands of toxic chemicals wiggling their way into our lives on a daily basis through the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe.
    • Although our body is naturally designed to process and eliminate these toxins, the sheer number creates an overload and accumulation within various body tissues.
    • The concept behind cleansing is to reduce the amount of toxins in these tissues by first, reducing exposure and second, improving our body’s ability to get rid of them.
    • The end result will lead to overall improvement and well-being.

12 Week Nutrition Course Begins
Thursday, January 10th
12:00 AM
Wellness Club, $135

 

The Wellness Club at Whole Foods Market Dedham offers a research and evidence-based nutrition curriculum in a structured and easily accessible format with the goal of educating and empowering people to take control of their health and nutrition choices.
 
Whether you are seeking to learn more about the benefits of a plant based lifestyle due to either health and medical reasons or because you want to break away from the Standard American Diet, participants in the Wellness Club curriculum are part of a supportive and non-judgmental community, learning not only from trained chefs and educators but from each other as well.
 
Our 12 Week Nutrition course will take you through the first two phases of our plant based, whole food education program. You will be introduced to the Four Pillars of Healthy Eating, get an in depth and practical look at macronutrients and how to get the support you need to make real and impactful changes in your diet and lifestyle.
 
The Wellness Club not only teaches you the “whys” of a plant based lifestyle, but also focuses largely on the “how.” Most classes are paired with an educational and demonstrative cooking class complete with recipes and techniques. These cooking classes are an excellent opportunity to see not only how easy healthy cooking can be but that it can taste just as great!
 
Our 12 Week Plant Based Nutrition Course is broken up into two hour blocks and is offered three times a week over the course of three months. Our next series of classes begins January 8, 2013. Sign up today to reserve your spot!
 
Class times:
Thursdays 8:30AM – 10:30AM
Thursdays 6:00PM – 8:00PM
Saturdays 9:30AM – 11:30AM
 
Visit the Wellness Club's website for more information.  To sign up, call the store at 781-329-7100 or stop by the Wellness Club Desk located near Prepared Foods.

Food, Inc. is a powerful, startling indictment of industrial food production, revealing truths about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.  Join us in the Wellness Club for free refreshments and engage in a spirited discussion.  
 
How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? In Food, Inc., Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the consumer with the consent of the government. The documentary reveals surprising-- and often shocking truths --about what we eat and how it’s produced, what the cost to our health is, and how this wave of change is sweeping across the global food industry.

5% Day for Dedham Water Trails

5% Day for Dedham Water Trails
Tuesday, January 15th
8:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Storewide, 5% of your Purchase will be a donation

 

On Tuesday January 15th, 2013 Whole Foods Market Dedham will donate 5% of the day’s net sales to the Dedham Water Trail project.  The goal of the Water Trail is to attract visitors to the Charles and create an educational and lasting experience that would in turn create environmental stewards of the river. There are currently five public launch sites along the Water Trail, several of which are adjacent to the many acres of Dedham’s parks and conservation lands.  Funds raised through the 5% Day will be used for landscaping and signage at the Town Landing Launch, and Needham Street Launch. 

 

We encourage you to visit our store on the 15th to support the 5% day.  Whether you stop in for your morning coffee and muffin, a slice of pizza for lunch, or stock up on your favorite bottle of wine, your purchase on the 15th will make a huge impact.

 

Originally called Bullard’s Landing Place, the Town Landing Launch is a short walk from Dedham Square, where you can explore a vital and thriving downtown, full of great shops and restaurants with casual dining. Walkable and charming, a visit to Dedham Square by canoe or kayak is a unique feature of the water trail.  This public launch connects the Dedham’s conservation land with walking trails located at Newton’s Cutler Park and Dedham’s Pine Island Reserve.

 

The Charles River flows 80 miles starting at Echo Lake in Hopkinton and through 22 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts before emptying into Boston Harbor.  The Dedham Water Trail is located entirely in Dedham and is made a loop by Long Ditch, located in Cutler Park, which is owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). The Water Trail follows the lead of organized hiking trails by marking the trail with signs at launches and at specific natural and historic locations. Waterproof trail maps will be available at launch sites, local shops, and restaurants.
