Just how the Inside Impacts the Outside

"The food industry has been transformed over the last 20-30 year period," said Dr. Robin at the very start of the radio show job interview when she spoke about how the inside impacts the outside. "There are more refined foods and more foods with extra sugars and salt nowadays. Besides benefiting the heart, the approach of "dealing with the whole physical body", will make you become a better person or part of a group. What we place in our bodies either affects us positively or negatively, and thus, the more "real" food we consume-- the healthier we will become".

The biggest challenge facing teenagers is poor digestion. When food is not fully digested, it compromises the immune system and disrupts the hormonal system. Additionally, teenagers are often addicted to stimulating foods like coffee, energy drinks, and sodas, all which are rich in caffeine and sugar. Sugar, she pointed out, is eight times more addictive than cocaine.

Additionally, Dr Robin shared that teenage health and wellness was influenced by sedentary behaviors. It was also impacted by chemicals in meals and prescriptions, and bad thought patterns. In attempting to alter these problems, parents had to provide a good example. They had to walk their talk, use positive words, and pay attention to meal labels. Dr. Robin proposed an easy means to start a change in diet. Everyone should follow one good health habit each month. Within a year, a person will have mastered 12 healthy behaviors.
