Lesson Plan - Nutrition
You may have heard the sayings “you are what you eat” or “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”.
These sayings are pointing to the fact that what we eat and how we eat not only makes a positive difference in how we appear but also how we feel on the inside. Below are some videos and quizzes that will help you understand how food affects arguably the most important organ we have, our brain, and how it affects our so-called second brain, the gut.
The final video is about how to develop a healthy eating mindset and is followed by some exercises to set you up for success. Good luck!
