In today’s episode we will moving on to the next pillar of total wellness, nutrition. Last week we covered pillar #1 Movement so if you haven’t listened to that episode yet, I recommend going back and listening to that first, as this was a presentation that I gave to a company and it had a certain order and flow to it.
We are breaking the topic of TOTAL WELLNESS down into four important pillars. So the goal is to learn how important these big rocks are and how we can leverage them to improve our Total Wellness.. I’ll bring up what we covered in that presentation but we are also going to go much deeper on each topic.
Total Wellness is a large subject.. and four really important pillars to total wellness are… Movement, Nutrition, Stress Management and Sleep.
Today, we will touch on some of the struggles that we currently see with the way our society is consuming food. Then we will discuss strategies and tips on how to boost our nutrition pillar to optimal status.
The process of eating is one of the most magical things we experience as human beings. We take stuff from the outside world, put it into our bodies, where our digestive system breaks the food down and that food then BECOMES US! When I look at you, when I look at your face, I see the protein you have eaten and I see how your body broke it down into small amino acid building blocks, and somehow, your body told those building blocks where to go, and what to become. “Dang, you all have some beautiful protein!”
What we can agree on is that food is powerful. It can harm and it can heal.
Hipocrattes was the father of medicine and lived over 2400 years ago, and he is quoted saying, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
