Our reason for being

Despite advances in medicine, the incidence of diet-related illnesses such as diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, some cancers and other inflammatory disorders continues to rise. Some of this is down to the long-term effects of a poor diet.  We want to help people eat better to lower their risk of diet-related illness, improve their quality of life and ultimately lengthen their healthspan.

What we do

We deliver courses and talks to the general public, local community groups and healthcare professionals that provide accessible scientific knowledge to help improve diets and ultimately better health.  Our 5-week Eating for Better Health course provides hands-on cooking lessons in addition to providing nutrition education.

 

Making healthy eating doable via nutritional advice and hands-on cooking over 5 weeks. After our successful 5-week pilot course in 2025, we received National Lottery funding to deliver 6 more courses across 2026 and 2027.

Would your organisation benefit from an update session on what the latest science tells us about eating healthily?

Eating for Better Health is pleased to have access to a purpose built nutition lab with the Department of Sport Rehabilitation & Nutrition at St Mary’s University in Twickenham that has workstations to allow hands on cooking events.

We are also pleased to come to you for these learning events at a venue of your choice. 

As our organisation grows, we hope to develop wider links with other institutions who hold similar values.
