Description
An Inclusive and Diverse Way to Think About Healthy Eating There is a growing disconnect between mainstream notions of “healthy” foods and the fact that traditional, cultural foods can be, and often are, inherently nutritious. This narrow view of healthy eating is misguided at best, with traditional foods often being left out of the conversation or even demonized. When you consider a more inclusive and diverse way to think about healthy eating, you realize the importance of exploring and embracing culturally relevant foods in healthy dietary patterns. Tune into this episode to learn about: · an inclusive and diverse way to think about healthy eating · the culture of wellness and healthy eating · foodways (the intersection of culture, history and food) · how history, trade and agriculture influenced flavors and foods in different regions across the globe · how social determinants of health impact access to the variables needed to express optimal health · what it means to decolonize your plate · why its important to explore different cultural foods and flavors · why its important to embrace and include favorite traditional cultural foods without feeling shame · the role of processed foods and recipe modification in healthy eating patterns Full shownotes and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/241
