Nutrition

Our health is affected by the foods we eat. When we are hungry, we should avoid filling our stomachs with empty carbs that make us feel full and energised for a short period of time. Instead, we should eat nutritional foods that fuel our cells and aid in their maximum performance. The most nutritious foods are those that have not been processed. Make sure your meal is made up of fresh fruits or vegetables (do not consume fruits and vegetables at the same meal); carbohydrates (whole grains or starches, like brown rice, sweet potatoes, millet, quinoa, barley, etc.); and plant protein (nuts, seeds, beans, chickpeas, lentils, tofu, etc). Reduce or eliminate your consumption of meat and dairy items.
