In this class, we’ll explore the pipes that pump our lives - specifically, our GI tracts and sewer systems - and figure out how they work together to keep our lives clean and healthy.
The first part of the class will explore your internal plumbing - your digestive tract - in Digestion 101. We will explore how your body can perform at its peak by breaking down how the digestive system works, from entry to exit, learning about the best and worst drinks and food you can consume, as well as how you consume them.
The second half of the class will explore what happens after the digestive tract; there is a whole system of pipes that are managed after the toilet flushes. In a brief journey through the sewer and drainage system of NYC, we will walk through the sanitation systems that keep our city going and why we should care about it.
By the end of the class, we aim to impart participants with knowledge about how to be mindful about what we put in our pipes - internal and external, and how much time and money can be saved if we took time to love them a little more.
