Improving Mental and Cognitive Health
Many people struggle with emotional eating, and oftentimes, the food sources are less than healthy. While food is to be used as a fuel source for the body’s health, mindless eating in a response to an emotional need can simply make matters worse. The psychological health of your mind is just as dependent on the food you eat as the physical health of your body. When your mind is fighting depression or anxiety, your body’s response is both emotional and physical. Fatigue and a lack of energy are two of the body’s primary physical responses to mental health concerns.

Bulking & Cutting
If you’re trying to build muscle and lose fat, there’s a good chance that you’ve come across two terms—“bulking” and “cutting.” These two terms refer to two different phases of improving your physique. Bulking is the term that refers to consuming a large number of calories while training hard at the gym. Cutting is the process of cutting calories (particularly carbs) while continuing to train just as hard.

3 Eating Habits for a Healthy Start to Summer
It is common for anyone to lean towards comfort foods and treats that are not part of our everyday diet during the winter season. Although, as we enter the warmer season by heading into summer, we must leave unhealthy food habits that are common during the winter. We like extra food intake for our body during winter, and in the process, we eat items like chocolate brownie and sweets—not so good for our fitness goals. Remember, life is all about balance!

Boost Your Productivity with the Right Food Choices
Eating highly nutritious meals can be a bit of a challenge, especially in today’s day and age: we often feel too busy or stressed out, so we tend to gulp whatever comes to our hands first. And it’s not just that we consume bad/junk food, but we also tend to overeat.

My Obsession with Food
This title may be a little deceiving. Yes, I do love food, not really to the point of obsession (though I'm sure my spouse will tell you otherwise). I have phenylketonuria, better known as PKU, a rare metabolic disorder in which phenylalanine cannot be digest. Phenylalanine can primarily be found in protein which means I cannot digest protein. People with phenylketonuria are treated with a low protein diet; being left untreated can result in seizures, brain damage, behaviour problems, and more. Since this is a serious disorder, it is screened for only a few days after birth, as to ensure treatment can be given right away.
