Hi, this is Anita from the Reluctant Low
0:08
Carb Life. If you've been listening to
0:10
my podcast, you know that there are
0:12
three things that we talk a lot about,
0:13
which is called our trifecta of health.
0:16
And today, I want to talk a little bit
0:17
more about the trifecta of health. I
0:20
consider it to be so important, just an
0:22
essential part of living. I really
0:24
believe it's something that anyone can
0:26
do and you can do it anywhere in the
0:28
world. We've written a blog post
0:30
entitled Fresh, Full, and Fit: A
0:33
Trifecta for Healthy Living Anywhere in
0:35
the World. And in fact, if you live
0:38
outside the United States, this in a way
0:41
is kind of easier. I live in Hanoi,
0:43
Vietnam, and I have to say that eating
0:46
fresh foods and foods that are not
0:48
multi-processed is a lot easier than in
0:51
the United States. In fact, fresh foods
0:54
and fresh fruits and vegetables and
0:56
meats are all, you know, actually a lot
0:59
cheaper than any type of processed food.
1:03
So, let's talk first about fresh. Why we
1:05
believe in eating foods that are fresh.
1:08
You know, fresh food is the beginning of
1:09
everything. You know, all processed
1:12
foods has been shown to be foods which
1:14
are been chemically modified. There's
1:16
been a lot of studies recently. A book
1:18
that I read that I highly recommend is
1:21
by a Dr. Chris Van Tolken which is
1:24
called ultrocessed people and in there
1:27
he talks about how dangerous essentially
1:29
is ultrocessed foods are that
1:31
ultrocessed foods is not real food but
1:33
yet for some people they're eating 80%
1:36
of multi-processed foods which means
1:37
that they're 80% of the foods they're
1:39
getting are not real foods. So you know
1:42
the fresher the foods the more nutrients
1:44
they hold. They have they hold more
1:46
vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin
1:49
B. They have minerals like potassium,
1:52
magnesium, antioxidants to fight in
1:55
inflammation,
1:57
you know, and all of these things will,
1:59
you know, degrade over time in the in
2:01
the processed foods. You know, fresh
2:03
fruits, vegetables,
2:05
grains, you know, beans, eggs, dairy,
2:09
fish, and unprocessed meat are loaded
2:12
with some great raw materials for your
2:15
body. Processed foods are essentially
2:18
foods that have been stripped down of
2:20
fiber. They've been drowned in sodium
2:22
and sugar. They're often fortified to
2:25
make up for what was removed. But
2:27
there's a lot of synthetic nutrients in
2:29
the foods that aren't suitable for, you
2:31
know, for nature's real versions.
2:33
They're not suitable for they're not as
2:36
good as what you can find in nature, you
2:38
know. So your body will absorb the
2:41
minerals and the vitamins better in
2:43
fresh foods than they would from
2:45
multi-processed foods. You can find a
2:47
lot of great fresh food all around the
2:50
world. And a lot of the, you know, great
2:52
basic foods that people eat, like for
2:55
example in Mexico, if you're in Mexico,
2:57
fish tacos, you know, that's I love fish
3:00
tacos. Or in Thailand, you can always
3:02
find great stir-fried vegetables with
3:04
tofu.
3:06
So, you might ask yourself, why do we
3:08
need to get back to fresh foods? Well,
3:09
it's simple. Our our grocery stores are
3:12
filled with boxes and plastic
3:14
ingredients
3:16
lists run for paragraphs. If you need a
3:19
degree in chemistry to understand what
3:22
you're eating, it's probably not helping
3:24
your health. So, that's really the crux
3:27
of it all. If you need to have a degree
3:29
in chemistry and you don't know what all
3:31
these chemicals are that you're putting
3:32
into your body, you probably it's not
3:35
good for you. You know, fresh food
3:37
doesn't have to be complicated. You
3:39
know, it can be um doesn't be, you know,
3:41
endless hours in the kitchen. It can
3:43
actually be very simple. It can be very
3:44
easy. You know, you can have a smoothie
3:46
with spinach, banana, and almond butter,
3:48
or you can have an apple with a handful
3:51
of almonds. It it doesn't have to be a
3:53
very complicated kind of thing, you
3:56
know. So, what does a fresh plate look
3:57
like? Well, half the plate should be
3:59
vegetables, you know, steamed,
4:03
raw, grilled, or roasted. One quarter
4:06
high quality protein,
4:08
and one quarter whole grains or starchy
4:11
vegetables.
4:13
You can add some extras on there, which
4:14
would be some healthy fats as you know,
4:16
avocado, um, olive oil or nuts. And
4:20
that's one of the reasons why I love I
4:22
love fresh foods because fresh foods are
4:24
such a great way of eating. And once
4:27
you've eaten fresh foods,
4:30
then you realize that there's so much
4:32
more. You enjoy it so much more than the
4:34
ultroessed foods. The next great thing
4:36
about fresh foods is when you eat fresh
4:38
foods, it really helps you feel full and
4:40
satisfied. So you have what's called
4:43
satiety. You don't feel stuffed. You
4:45
don't feel over full, but you have
4:47
satiety, which means that you won't have
4:49
to eat for a much longer period of time,
4:51
which means you'll eat less. And it it's
4:54
basically it's it's healthier for you.
4:57
When you really like when you eat the
4:58
fresh foods, the added benefit is you're
5:00
eating foods that are going to give you
5:02
the nutrients and all of the other
5:03
things that you need and you're going to
5:05
feel full longer.
5:07
Our last trifecta of health is fitness.
5:09
To move every day, you can find a way to
5:12
move. Find something that you enjoy and
5:14
go out and move. If you're not able to
5:16
do anything, walk stairs. We're great
5:18
believers in walking stairs or do some
5:21
yoga, stretch, go out to the park. You
5:24
know, there's lots of reasons why we
5:26
believe this trifecta of health works,
5:28
which is about fresh foods, foods that
5:30
help you feel full and fitness, is that
5:32
you can do it anywhere. It's simple.
5:35
It's a very easy plan to follow. And if
5:38
you do that, you will be healthier and
5:40
have a healthier lifestyle. So, I
5:43
actually have an example here where you
5:44
can put it um into practice. One goal,
5:47
one week way to put into practice. I've
5:49
written a blog entitled Fresh, Full, and
5:51
Fit: A Trifecta for Healthy Living
5:53
Anywhere in the World. So, if you're
5:55

5:56
healthier, we recommend that you check
