If you don’t calculate the price of every meal you eat💵 or count the apples🍎 your family consumes, consider yourself fortunate. For millions, healthy, nutritious food is an unaffordable luxury.🍲 In 2022, 9.2% of the global population—around 735 million people—faced chronic hunger (FAO). This means that while some enjoy nutrient-rich meals, millions rely on cheaper, less nutritious alternatives, worsening health issues. Food Waste in Wealthier Nations In richer countries, excess fresh produce, bakery goods and frozen food often go to waste due to overstocking. Supermarkets encourage consumers to buy more than they need, leading to wastage both in stores and homes, with discarded food filling landfills. In developing countries, overproduction adds pressure on farmers and ecosystems, as they try to meet both domestic and international market demands. Fertilisers and chemicals are used excessively to meet this demand, further harming the environment. The Ripple Effect of Mindful Consumption 👇🏽 What if we could change this? If the wealthy consumed more mindfully, it would create a ripple effect: • Farmers could reduce overproduction, easing the burden on the environment. • Transportation costs would lower, meaning food prices could decrease for everyone. • Healthy food would become more accessible for lower-income populations, improving global nutrition. On World Food Day, we need more than just awareness. We need action. Here’s how you can help: 1. Consume mindfully and reduce waste. 2. Buy only what you need. 3. Educate others on the impact of food waste and encourage conscious consumption. 4. Share this message with decision-makers—governments, supermarkets, corporations. It’s time for reforms that prioritise growing healthy, organic food and ensure it's affordable for all. By changing our habits today, we can help provide decent, nutritious meals for everyone tomorrow. Join the movement and make a difference! #WorldFoodDay #MindfulEating #SustainableFood #EndHunger #ZeroWaste #FoodForAll #healthyfoodforall

The dumbest mistake we make to earn money is to risk our health. The one thing we forget first & fastest in our busy schedules - is to take care of our food & lifestyle. We all juggle commitments, leaving healthy eating by the ocean to stroll. To solve this particular problem, steal the 2 easy-peasy snack recipes that I learn watching my wife: ❤️ A bowl of 2 different cut fruits, separately. To be eaten also one fruit at a time separately. ❤️ Blend frozen bananas with cocoa powder and peanut butter for a protein-rich smoothie bowl. Or, ❤️ just take along some Nuts - Almonds, Cashews, Raisins - all are better had pre-soaked a few hours. Remember, small changes make a big difference. Consistency is the key. ✅ Embrace easy prep, ✅ Versatile ingredients, and ✅ Don't be afraid to get creative! Your taste buds and stamina to take on the day will thank you for not bogging it down with fried or heavy snacks and meals generally available in offices or outside. Choose a good, healthy lifestyle over convenience. #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #organicfoods #easyrecipes

Monday motivation to eat real food! This is how we create health, by eating foods that our body recognizes and can break down and process so that we can absorb the vital nutrients we need to thrive...food that comes from the earth, food that does not come out of a box or bag, food with one or few ingredients, food that is natural- without chemicals...you know, REAL FOOD!!! The more real food items on your plate: like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, healthy grains, legumes, protein, etc. the healthier and more nourished your body will be! On this plate: Black beans Corn Avocado Lime Olive oil Cayenne Pepper Green Onions Red peppers Orange Peppers Red Onions Yellow Squash Zucchini Mushrooms Pasture raised chicken Siete Almond Flour Wraps (almond flour, tapioca flour, water, sea salt, xanthan gum) The majority of the food on this plate contains single food ingredients...that's what From the Inside Out can help you achieve. Reclaiming your health by increasing the amount of real food items, one plate at a time! So that you can start stacking some preventative health cards in your deck xxoo #healthcoachlife #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #nutrientdense #healthyswaps #healthyeating #superfoods #naturalhealth #wellness #healthyfood #eatmoreveggies #eatmorefruit #knowledge #healthylifestyle #homecooking #getridofthejunk #pillarsofhealth #goalsetting #accountability #discipline #glutenfree #dairyfree #nohateful8oils #plantforwardeating #habitsandchoices #easymealidea #crowdout #healthiswealth

Did you know..... 46% of us view healthy food as expensive? A banana costs about .30 cents, a PB&J sando will set you back about .65 cents, a can of beans is about $1.00, a bag of brown rice is $2-4, a carrot will run you about .25 cents or less, a potato is nearly $1.00 (for a big one), a bag of pasta is anywhere from $1-4, leafy greens are cheap..... 23% of us say we lack the time to prepare healthy meals..... Yet the average time spent in front of a tv in 2023 is 168 minutes / day, and approximately 3h15m on a phone....per day....per human (363 minutes / day combined) For the 20% who don't know how to cook healthy food, spend 20% less time in front of the tv and phone and you just added 72 minutes of "learning" time to your schedule. Food for thought.... Have an awesome weekend and try to squeeze in a few hours for shopping and food prepping.

There are many things in life that we can't control, but we can control what we eat! Life can be full of surprises and challenges that make us feel like we don't have much control. However, there is one thing that we can always control – the food we put into our bodies. The food we eat affects how we feel and how much energy we have. It's like putting fuel in a car – the better the fuel, the better the car will run. Our bodies are like that too! When we eat healthy, nutritious foods like protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, our bodies can work at their best. Even though we can't control everything in our lives, we have the power to choose what we eat. Every time we eat, it's a chance to give our bodies the good stuff they need to be strong and healthy. Take control of what you can – your food choices! Start by adding more healthy, whole foods to your meals and snacks. Cut back on junk food and sugary drinks. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel when you fuel your body with the right stuff!
