- Yes, we are what we eat. Add 'really' if you want.
- Individual correct food choice keeps us healthy and active.
- Drinking alcohol to excess means that we are not in control of our behaviour.
- Eat a lot of fat without a lot of exercise = become fat.
- The food we consume provides the nutrients and energy our bodies need to function properly.
- It can also have a significant impact on our health and well-being.
- A healthy, balanced diet that includes a variety of fruit, vegetables, whole grain, and lean protein can help support physical and mental health.
- A diet high in processed, sugary, and unhealthy fats can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Therefore, it is important to make thoughtful and informed food choices that align with our individual needs and goals.
- Food is fuel for our bodies. But it doesn’t just give us energy, it can also impact our mood. Knowing this, how can we make better food choices?
- Our gut or gastrointestinal tract is home to billions of bacteria.
- The food we eat directly affects our gut health (or the balance of good and bad bacteria) and influences the production of neurotransmitters (our body’s chemical messengers that are constantly carrying messages from the gut to the brain).
- Because different foods can trigger different moods, we can strategically choose foods that evoke desirable mood-states.
- For keeping our moods even and balanced, especially in the work environment, we can consume food that promotes good bacteria in our gut.
- We should also consider the physiological reactions various foods trigger.
- For example, it might make sense to serve and consume mild or sweet fare during a get-together with friends and family, and, maybe consume spicy food ahead of a confrontational meeting in which we don’t want to be run over.
