Healthy TV | Episode 018

In this episode I will cover:

• The greatest myth of our generation.
• 5 ways cholesterol impacts your health.
• The link between cholesterol and your brain.
• What you need to know about your cholesterol levels.

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.

Last week I was house-sitting for Dr. Gibson.

In the centre of his house is a fireplace. One which I just could not get to stay lit…

…And it made me think of how the body uses the energy contained within different types of food.

Actually, I first heard this concept several years ago from Nora Gegaudas – it’s funny how stuff comes back into conscious thought when you’re absentmindedly trying to start a fire…

Our bodies burn fuel to give us energy, just like a fireplace burns wood to give us heat.
