In this episode, we talk about eating nutrient-dense and diverse foods. We discuss how confusing it can be to figure out what good quality food really is and how processed food can hurt our gut health. We also talk about why buying local and organic is important and what "empty calories" are. We share tips on how to make health a priority and make smart choices about what we eat, even though it's tough in a world full of unhealthy options. We touch on how soil depletion can lower the nutritional value of fruits and veggies and why reading ingredient labels is crucial. We also clear up the myth that being vegan always means being healthy. Geta Barbu and Danette May explain why eating nutrient-dense foods is so important and clear up some misunderstandings about different foods. They suggest focusing on one dietary change at a time and paying attention to how it affects our bodies. They also stress the importance of knowing our own bodies and standing up for our health. Geta encourages us to eat real food and put our health first, debunking common myths about how certain foods affect us.
