I bet if I asked you “What is more risky for your body, squatting or sitting?” you would say “well squatting, obviously.”  And, I can understand why…

We’ve been taught that squatting is dangerous… a sure-fire way to hurt your back and knees…sitting, on the other hand, must be safe because, well, we sit all the time and nothing bad happens right?

Yet another myth we’ve been sold.

“Sugar is sugar is sugar is sugar.”

You may have heard this mantra repeated again and again by a variety of health coaches and low-carb advocates, including us…

But not all sugars are created exactly equal.

“What about honey? Is that okay?” is a very commonly asked question at our Eat by Design seminars.

First off, let’s define what we mean by ‘okay’.

Nutrition is a central component to your health whether you pay attention to it or not, all of us in Kanata are subject to the same nutrition lies that continue to make the rest of the world sick and fat.

Each one of these myths are embedded as cultural norms and accepted as “the standard” when it comes to nutritional decision-making. Without ever considering the impact of your food choices on how your body functions, you’re left to pay the price for what are often believed to be solid and smart decisions.

Sadly these decisions lie at the root of Kanata’s (and the world’s) declining health status and the consequences will continue to be far-reaching and long lasting.

Plato, Aristotle, Friedrich Nietzsche, Confucius.

These are some of the names that likely come to mind when people start talking about philosophy, right?

Old men with long beards, spouting out wisdoms which we either don’t understand, or can’t really apply to real life.

FALSE.

Philosophy definitely has a role to play in the modern world…
