Summary
As a caregiver, you're burning a lot of fuel every day, and it's important to eat healthy to keep your body strong and ready to go with whatever get's thrown your way. Aryn DeGrave, dietitian at Hy-Vee, joins the show to talk about the importance of eating healthy, and how to eat well on a budget. First, DeGrave talks about the psychology of why we eat. We know that it's important to eat healthy, so why do we turn to pizza and mac and cheese when we've had a bad day? Then, it's sugar. We love it, but we know it's bad for us. But how bad is it? As DeGrave says, while we do need a little sugar to give us energy, having excess sugar can lead to big problems down the road. And don't worry, caffeine is on the chopping block too... So then, what should we be eating to address the needs of caregiving? DeGrave helps us figure out a balanced diet that can be customizable to our own tastes and needs. Guest: Aryn DeGrave
