Mini Interview with Nutritionist Carol
Me: How knowledgeable would you say the general population is when it comes to how to care of themselves?
Carol: A lot less than you would think, people are very unaware of how to keep themselves fit and eating the right foods. The one thing that surprises me the most I would say would be how uneducated they are on what foods are bad and what are good.
Me: What is the most common question you get asked regarding eating right?
Carol: Probably which food is better a bagel or bacon egg or cheese? (Laughs) something along those lines... It seems people are very stuck on their eating habits and are lazy with making a full change. They will ask for caloric differences when both foods are bad in different ways. A lot of the time when you suggest a new habit to them, they show a struggle to detach themselves from their daily eating rituals.
Me: How can society better educate themselves on what’s good and what’s bad?
Carol: Read and get involved. Take action upon yourself. Well being is something you have to believe in first before you can enhance the knowledge of others.
Me: Any other advice?
Carol: Being happy goes hand in hand with taking care of you. Nurture yourself with raw fruits and vegetables, drink a lot of water and get your sleep.
In conclusion…..read, eat your fruits and veggies, rest and hydrate!
