About

My objective is to raise consciousness as to what we are eating and to help people make proper choices about it. We tend to eat without thinking about the consequences of that simple action. We aren´t taking into account that if we ate right, our moods and therefore our behavior would improve overall, and we would avoid diseases. The only way to make proper choices is to know all of our options, all the different diets we can adopt. Hopefully, once you notice all the health issues we are dodging and how easy it is to do so, you will too make it your objective to help other people.

We perceive the term “diet” as negative, as an eating plan you go “on” and “off” and includes restrictions, but diet is really just what you eat. On the other hand, “lifestyle” is how you live; it includes your eating habits and your attitude towards them.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” (Hippocrates). What you put into your body has a huge impact in how you feel and is crucial in order to be able to fight and avoid diseases. For example, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, obesity, bulimia, and cancer. All of them have a relation with food. Now, our bodies aren´t waste baskets, so why putting all this junk food in it? One of the main reasons is because processed foods are addictive. All the fat, salt, and specially sugar make your body crave more of them. On top of that, because they go through so many processes, they lose the nutrients their ingredients initially had.

There are many defined diets and lifestyles. Some of the most known are vegetarians, vegans, raw foods, and paleo eating. They each have different ideology, but they are mostly adapted to reach the final goal: to be healthy. If you change your diet, many changes, advantages, and disadvantages come with it, but by making some changes and adapting, you can be healthy.
