You know how your mom would disguise an ingredient you didn't like and sneak it inside your favourite food? That was her influencing your choices based on what you should be eating instead of just giving you what you merely 'liked'. As adults we can not really be tricked into eating good food, we can only be inspired.

Many begin their health journey out of fear - fear of weight gain, fear of looking a certain way, or fear of falling ill. But I always say let inspiration be your guide. You know why? Because you can always 'overcome' fear but inspiration, that's contagious!

Food is not rational. Food is #culture, #habit, craving and #identity.

Sharing this week, powerful food combinations to get the most out of what we eat.
