It seems like every few months, a new food fad takes the nutrition world by storm, and everybody, from the diet experts to the bloggers to the celebrity chefs, jumps on the bandwagon. Whether it’s a newly-discovered superfood or a common household item that we need to avoid at all costs, we’re constantly being instructed, “Eat this, but don’t eat that.” It can be hard to keep up with the changing trends - and frustration can arise when a food we thought was OK to love turns up on the “bad” list. Fortunately, there’s an excellent guideline that can help us navigate the shifting nutritional landscape and even enjoy ourselves along the way. In this empowering new podcast episode, Emily Rosen, Director of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, talks about the key factor that makes the difference between food that depletes our energy, and one that enhances our life force: quality. Tune in and learn why quality is so important when it comes to nutrition, and why a birthday cake that’s made with the best ingredients can be better for you than a kale salad that’s not.
