What To Expect - Meals
Here at BHHEC we believe that many of the diseases that people
suffer from are caused by wrong habits of eating. So one of
our main focuses is to teach people a healthy way of eating.
Guests participate in the meal preparation and learn how to
make their own delicious and nutritious meals when they get
home. You will have plenty
of one-on-one time with our Food Service Director where they
will be sharing all the skills necessary to prepare timely,
healthy meals from scratch.
Early in their stay guests will also consult with the
dietician, and their special dietary needs will be assessed. Then the kitchen meets those needs with tasty, nutritious,
home-style cooking, featuring: fruit, vegetables, whole
grains, legumes, nuts
and seeds. Many of the vegetables that guests consume come
fresh from our very own garden, “Battle Creek Gardens,” where
we are growing over 80 different varieties of nutrient rich
vegetables and herbs this year.
What To Expect - Activities
Every day there is something new at BHHEC, but this is what
a normal day might look like:
- We begin early in the morning with the "Thought for
the Day" that gives you encouragement to face a new day.
This is followed by a stretching session to prepare you for
the physical part of the daily program.
- You might enjoy an
energizing walk in the surrounding forest. Then we get together for a great breakfast.
- One of our physicians will then give a
health lecture to help you understand how your body works.
- Next it's off to the fitness room for
your personal training session.
- You will receive either a relaxing massage or hydrotherapy
treatment five times per week given by one of our qualified
therapists.
- You will have a hands-on experience cooking
with our Food Service Director. Enjoy the fruits of your
labor with a hearty, healthy, and refreshing dinner.
- Lecture follows dinner with a motivating talk on how to take
care of your body.
- Then after another
interesting lecture, it is free time and off to bed.
Did you know that regaining your health could be so much
fun?
