2. Food is For Fuel and Fun
Manage episode 437804987 series 3583231
In this episode of the Two-Minute Wellness podcast, I'm sharing my approach to balanced eating, which can be summed up with the phrase "food is for fuel and for fun."
In a nutshell, I believe food is meant to be a source of nourishment and nutrition and it should also be a source of pleasure and enjoyment!
Focusing solely on healthy foods can make healthy eating feel stressful and also take away from the joy of social gatherings and celebrations.
Something that's helped me embrace the balance between fuel and fun is the concept of food "buckets": the healthy bucket for nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, and good proteins, and some fun buckets for foods that enhance experiences or encourage connection.
Adopting this flexible "bucket" mindset can help you let go of the guilt you may feel when you choose less healthy foods. Whether it’s enjoying a cocktail during happy hour, a cupcake at the office, or popcorn at the movies, I believe all foods can (and should) fit into a healthy lifestyle.
Tune in to discover how creating your own buckets can transform your relationship with food and enhance your overall well-being.
