Food Drama

Why is there so much drama around food? Isn't it one of our greatest sources of pleasure, connection and gratitude? Yet, we are flooded with all kinds of contradictory theories about how to eat and what to eat that often unsettle us and take all of the joy out of this primal need.

The response to the question, what should I eat? is quite simple. Focus on nutrient dense, whole foods that you mostly prepare yourself. Eat with family and friends, or at least calmly and away from screens. As Michael Pollan would say, "Eat foods that your grandmother would recognize."

But, food choices are as unique as each human being because we are bio-individuals. We also belong to many cultural and historical familial lines that inform our food choices and what feels comforting to us. Any dietary plan is potentially fine as long as it feels good in your body and you are getting adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats, minerals and polyphenols.

To nourish our body, avoid disease, and enjoy a long health span, we need to eat the essential nutrients that our body can't make on its own: 9 essential amino acids, 2 essential fatty acids, 13 essential minerals and 13 essential vitamins, plus mineral rich water.
