Our podcast's nutrition and healthy eating starter pack featuring episodes from Optimal Health Daily.
Food as Nourishment
According to Medical News Today, nutrients like proteins, carbs, vitamins, and fat, provide nourishment. If people “do not have the right balance of nutrients in their diet, their risk of developing certain health conditions increases.”
It can be tough to remember to choose healthy food when there are lots of tasty options tempting your taste buds.
How can mindful eating be a part of your approach to nutrition? Is there a best diet out there?
And how do you maintain healthy eating habits?
These episodes from our health show will help you learn about balanced nutrition and maintaining a healthy diet.
