Nutrition - The cornerstone of Health

The first day of our course delves into the vital role of nutrition in overall health. Today's focus is on integrating evidence-based insights into your diet. Good nutrition is not just the foundation of health; it influences energy, mood, and longevity, and even impacts the environment positively.

We begin our journey by emphasizing the importance of fiber in maintaining a healthy gut biome, reducing inflammation, and protecting against diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Prioritizing whole food plant-based options, the aim is to increase your fiber intake to 40-50 grams per day.

Discover how unprocessed foods can regulate hunger hormones and manage weight effectively. By swapping processed snacks for nutritious, fibrous options, you'll foster a healthier eating environment. Learn about the significance of pre-loading meals with fiber-rich appetizers and the benefits of narrowing your eating window to enhance metabolic health.

This episode also explores broader health implications, underscoring plant-based diets for chronic disease prevention and longevity. Practical challenges and documentation in your journal are encouraged, as are engaging with recommended readings like Fibre-Fuelled and How Not to Diet. Start small, stay consistent, and celebrate progress as you transform your dietary habits.
