28. The Code to Nutrition

“Everything will be impacted by what we put in our bodies,” explains host Dr. Andrew. Like sleep and exercise, diet is crucial to peak performance. As a result, Dr. Andrew gives helpful insight into how to use food to optimize your health.    The key to nutrition is avoiding processed foods made with many ingredients. Instead, look for natural foods that are not filled with added sugar, such as fruit, meat, or vegetables. Ultimately, limiting sugary snacks and overeating will allow you to prevent inflammation in the body and help you better utilize the nutrients you’re taking in.    Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a straightforward conversation on nutrition. Learn more about how food impacts the body, the importance of protein, and the benefits of mindful eating.   Quotes • “What we put in our mouths is extremely important in determining or dictating what we can expect from our body, whether it’s from a performance standpoint, or just how you feel, what type of energy levels you have, how your skin feels, nails, hair. Everything will be impacted by what we put in our bodies.” (2:29-2:53 | Andrew)  • "Protein is essential for satisfying or satiating us from an appetite standpoint. Protein digests slowly in our system, making you feel full for longer.” (8:08-8:19 | Andrew) • “We recommend eating until you're satisfied, not until you're full because there's a slight delay in when we put food into our mouth.” (16:02-16:11 | Andrew) • “Eat real food. Shop the perimeter of the grocery stores, or the farmer's markets, or wherever you're going, and try to eat real food as much as possible.” (21:33-21:44 | Andrew) • “Eat until you're satisfied, not really full, and you will feel so much better. And your body will thank you for it.” (22:41-22:50 | Andrew)   Links   Connect with Physio Room:  Website | ​​https://physioroomco.com/  Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/physioroomco/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/physioroomco Andrew’s Personal Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.andrewfix/  Andrew’s Personal Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fix.9/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
