Are you ready to REALLY understand what your body needs to THRIVE? If so, you’re going to want to tune in and check out this episode with Valeria Hernández, AKA “Vegi Vale”, where she joins us to talk about all things nutrition.
From understanding culture’s influence on food and exploring how veganism can look different for different people, to discussing the impact of nutrition on our day-to-day lives and the role of genetics on our overall well-being, this episode serves as a comprehensive guide for all those who are looking to make sustainable lifestyle changes.
Key Takeaways:
Each culture has its own adaptation of vegan food which allows people with different tastes to enjoy a vegan diet.
When it comes to food, it’s important to not have an “all or nothing” mindset. If you didn’t eat healthy one day, you can always bounce back and eat nutritious food the next day.
As a society, we have a weird relationship with calories. We need them to survive and yet we try to avoid them and think of them negatively.
Not consuming enough calories will cause you to feel distracted, tired, and you can experience a foggy brain.
While exercise is important for your body, it’s not as essential as eating the right food because you literally need food to sustain your body.
You don’t have to restrict yourself to working out in a gym; instead, you should exercise in a way that feels right for you.
