Join the BWN's Healthy Living Series next week at GLO Kitchen + Fitness for a summer dinner and a discussion on Eastern and Western approaches to eating well in Beijing. This intimate event will include a presentation from Dr. Debbie Ma, who holds a PhD in Chinese Medicine. She will review the importance of seasonal eating, and teach us about the nutritional benefits and flavors of the wide variety of vegetables that can be found in local markets. We will also learn how to make homemade ginger ale, discuss ways to ward off summer colds, and address digestion problems.

The second-half of the event will include a special fixed dinner (designed specifically for the Women's Network) by Brandon Trobridge of GLO Kitchen. While we enjoy our dinner, he will highlight the nutritional benefits of the meal and talk about ways to stay healthy in Beijing from a more Western perspective.

We are so thrilled to be putting on this unique event, and look forward to having you join us on Thursday, July 7!

All genders welcome.
