Finding the right diet for each individual is a real challenge. Food impacts our body but also our emotions and our thoughts. In a way, we are what we eat.
What is the role of nutrition and its importance in humans?
Nutrition is our source of energy. By eating, we seek nutrients that allow us to live, move, grow, think, share... In nature, the mammal that we are ate frugally and fed on elements found in its environment. Of course, humans fed according to the resources available in their direct environment, so the share of fruits, berries, seeds, leaves, and roots was surely large. No processed foods, no industrial foods, and probably very little cooking. This mode of nutrition, which certainly lasted for millennia in the human species, has changed significantly in a relatively short time.
The physiological role of nutrition is to meet our energy needs... ...but today, we eat for pleasure, to share a moment with others, to fill our dissatisfactions, to compensate for our emotions, because we are bored, or just for the pleasure of eating because it tastes good...
What is the link between nutrition and health?
Our body is constantly renewing itself. Our cells multiply and use the available elements for these metabolic processes. The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, the thoughts we think... all of this constitutes us.
We should offer our body the best possible fuel, the best available foods! Foods served as close to their natural state as possible, with minimal processing. This is how our body will be able to /
To best absorb the elements we need to live: nutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements.
To satisfy our senses, consciously, in a natural way.
I strongly believe in simple food, close to the raw product, as part of a varied and balanced diet. It is sometimes difficult to change one's diet or to maintain a simple diet. Our emotions, social relationships, and temptations are significant...
Bones need minerals. Bone cells are largely composed of minerals. Calcium and magnesium are among the minerals that make up bones.
How does the digestive system work?
The function of the digestive system is to process food. It is directly linked to what we eat. The digestive system transforms food to extract essential and useful elements for the body.
No dogma, let's stop trying to control everything drastically, doing ridiculous diets before summer only to binge on other things later. It's not an object we buy or a new trend we display. It's a way of life, a philosophy of life, a different relationship to life, often less consumerist and more conscious, sustainable, natural, respectful. Let's stay humble and listen above all to the messages of our body. It is essential to personalize our plates according to each person's needs, choosing ingredients based on physical activity, mental activity, individual digestive capacities. Let's learn to eat with awareness, love, and respect. Let's learn to eat with joy, without guilt, without compulsion. And let's not forget that diet is not everything... It is one of the foundations of health, let's not forget the others... Let's re-learn to live simply, simply happy.
I accompany you during individual consultations and workshops, on this path to dietary balance.
