Exactly how the Inside Impacts The Outside

"The food that we eat has been altered a lot over the last three decades," stated Dr. Robin. She elaborated on the motif of how the inside impacts the outside. "Today, there are more refined meals these days and these are loaded with sugar and salt. Besides the heart, the approach of "dealing with the whole body", will make you a better individual or team player. Every little thing we place in our bodies either harms us or makes us better. The more 'real' the food we consume, the healthier we will be."

Teenagers are facing issues related to poor digestion. This endangers the immune system. It also disrupts the hormones. Furthermore, young adults are usually addicted to stimulating substances like coffee, as well as energy boosting drinks and soft drinks. All of these are rich in glucose and caffeine. Sweet drinks and foods, she explained, are many times more habit- forming than narcotic drugs.

Dr Robin said that teenage health was also adversely affected by sedentary habits, chemicals in foods and medications, and negative thoughts and feelings. In trying to change these patterns, parents needed to set a positive example by walking their talk, using positive words, and reading food labels. She suggested a simple way to initiate change: adopt one good health habit each month. Within a year, a person will have adopted 12 healthy habits.
