Is the Answer to Bad Nutrition, simply Education?
Education is necessary in the diet changing game, but it doesn’t just come down to that. I know what I should and should not be eating, I am fully aware of the evil of refined and why we should eat all the ‘colours of the rainbow’. I still gorge on things I know I shouldn’t. Why is this? I’m sure there are many reasons. But I believe the biggest is perception. Its not just about getting educated about nutrition, we need to get excited about healthy food, get a taste for these new flavours. As we continue to pursue a new healthy diet, our bodies will realign themselves. Instead of trying and failing to fill ourselves up with ‘empty calories’, the right diet won’t make you feel hungry or starved of nutrients. The whole foods will fill your body up and give you tons of energy. As we start to feel more satisfied, we will start to feel better emotionally, physically and mentally. We will start to see ourselves in a happier, more beautiful light.
