Nutrition is the Key to Health Podcast

When starting a journey like this, information is key to success. Think of information as your armor, as you are heading off to battle. The more you know, the more prepared and hopefully successful you might be. I use a book called, the world’s healthiest foods, by George Mateljan.

I purchased this book in 1995, and it is still my go to today. It is the most comprehensive nutrition book I have ever seen. I will put a picture of the book below. There are other versions, but I have the oldest version and it has served me well, and continues to serve me well to this day. This book is pricey at about $70 on Amazon, so if you do not have the money, do not worry. If you have access to the internet, then you can search for information on the web. You will just have to navigate a bit more.

In this book you will find a plethora of information at your fingertips. I cannot say enough about this book. I call it my food bible. This book is packed with information and also recipes. It tells you how to choose, prep and store all the food. It also gives you all the nutritional information from nutritional density, micros and macros. The keys to any success are knowledge, determination and hard work.

With technology like YouTube and podcasts available at our fingertips, there is a great deal of helpful information out there. You don’t have to dedicate time to watch or listen, just put it on while you prep or cook your meal. You can download a podcast and listen as you go for your walk. You don’t have to stare at a screen to get the information.

You are getting close to starting your journey!
