Personal Development Nutrition: Separating Fact from Fiction
It seems like a daily news item: a new take on what foods and drinks are good and bad for us. At best, it’s interesting. But at worst, it’s clearly overwhelming and definitely confusing. Is coffee good for you or not? How bad, really, are processed foods? What’s the real scoop on gluten? Is sugar a friend or a foe? And what truly constitutes a healthy diet? Finally, there are definitive answers. Join certified nutrition coach Ruth Brown for the facts backed by science and evidence, as she guides you through the world of nutrition. Explore physical, mental, emotional, existential and relational health and see how they’re linked. Learn how your environment impacts your health and choices. Develop small daily actions and habits like creating a supportive environment, shopping smart for groceries and preparing meals that can boost your health in sustainable ways. Discover the food nutrition continuum along with its macro and micronutrients, whole versus processed foods, portion sizes, supplements and vitamins, water intake, and sleep and recovery. Investigate diet trends, nutrition guidelines and healthy choices when you’re extra busy, on a budget or traveling. And finally, create and implement a personal, nutrition action plan tailored specifically to your personality and lifestyle. Start the new year feeling full … of great, practical knowledge on nutrition!
