More Than the Food on Your Plate

Season 6 Episode 611 | 26m 45s

Is there more to food than food? I think you know that I’ll say yes. Of course, there are our macronutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates along with vitamins and minerals essential to our wellness. And then there’s the energy of the food; the impact it has on us in more than just physical ways. Can it help us to relax? Feel energized? Annoyed or happy? Yes, yes and yes.
