When are we going to be able to feed the world with good quality food.
Have you noticed when we go to supermarket the healthier choices need to be weight? Examples, fruits, vegetables, whole grains , plant and animal and animal protein?Nutritious food should not be measure by weight. Kilograms is not a good way of measuring nutrition. If you notice when we do our groceries,the ultra processed , with empty nutrients are the most affordable examples: cereals, flavored milks,sweets, bakery, chips, fried food. How do we improve the nutrient density content at the right cost?
By reducing saturated fats
Reducing trans-fats ( bad for you)
Reducing refined sugars Or Considering adding to processed food: 1.Wholegrains 2.Nuts and seeds 3.Fruits and dairy Maybe creating some kind of technology that helps the food industry to achieve a better level of nutrition , not just providing empty calories and promote under nutrition and nutrient deficiencies. 🥕🥬 Healthy diets are unaffordable to many people specially the poor aprox more than 3 billion people. Healthy diets are estimated to be 5 times more expensive than diets that meet only energy requirements through starchy staples. ASN.Nutrient rich foods should be affordable.

If we can educate families to eat healthy without paying a fortune.
I am passionate about food and nutrition. Originally from Bogota -Colombia currently living in New Zealand. I am a Nutritionist & Dietitian. After becoming a mum and working in different areas like education, banking and sales, I came to the realisation that I wanted to come back to what I loved and what I have passion for this is Health and Nutrition.
In September 2016 I started my online course with the biggest nutrition school in America called Institute of Integrative Nutrition( IIN).
The Institute of Integrative Nutrition has given me the knowledge and support about Nutrition in a Holistic way.
I have never thought that this would be possible, but after a year I realised that definitely secondary food (food that is on the plate) is part of the puzzle of health and happiness.
There is something called primary food which are the pillars that together contribute to a better wellbeing and a better nutrition.
Relationships, spirituality, career and exercise plus a having good sleep habits can contribute to a better YOU.
I am a Holistic Nutritionist and I am looking forward to taking you on this journey of
better habits and a prosperous life.
Always smile with gratitude!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you get to know me.
