I'm joined this episode by Danielle Coombes Pearce BHSc who specialises in nutritional medicine at her business, Mind Body Nutrition.
What I admire about how Danielle approaches nutrition is her holistic approach and emphasising that good health comes not only from eating right, but also putting you body and mind into a good space by linking all these aspects. In preparing our foods and planning ahead it's possible to maintain healthy eating rather than grabbing quick less healthy choices.
Looking back at our ancient ways we talk about how eating simpler foods that are less processed kept us healthier and stronger with less intolerances to the food we ate. By not only looking at the food we eat but where it comes from and how it is produced, we can make better decisions about eating healthier and avoiding potential health complications as we go through life.
To gain overall health we can match better eating habits with regular movement and time outside to relax and unwind as our physical well being is crucial for a good mindset. Danielle informs us about how life, health and work should all be enjoyed together and how areas known as 'Blue Zones' around the world achieve this to live longer happier lives. A big part of this is creating and enjoying meals together as a family and staying connected.
As life can seem to be speeding up is it important that now more than ever we prioritise making time ourselves to exercise, eat better and keep out stress levels down by doing things we enjoy.
