TREAT YOUR BODY RIGHT People always talk about the importance of eating healthy, nutrient-dense whole foods, or eating ‘clean’ (I don’t like that term, but we’ll get into that another time)…but what’s not often spoken about is the importance of eating ENOUGH . When we eat, food is broken down into smaller and smaller units, eventually ending up as glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Among other roles in the body, these are energy sources, used by our bodies to generate movement, breathe, digest, and about a million other important daily functions⚡️⚡️ Food is LITERALLY the fuel our bodies run on. . We don’t expect our cars to drive without fuel. When our gas tanks are almost empty, do we step on the gas pedal harder? NO! We fuel up. And that is the way it should be with our bodies too. . Not eating enough can leave us tired, weak, susceptible to illnesses, cold, dizzy, unmotivated, create hormonal imbalances + nutritional deficiencies, slow down our metabolism, and just not feeling great. I’ve learnt the hard way what not eating enough does to our bodies + brains. Eating more has changed my life + I still notice how much of an impact it has on days where I don’t eat enough. I’ve become so passionate about this topic now . If you’d like to see a full blog post on how to know if you’re underrating, or anything else related to this topic, let me know!
