Dr Robin Explains How the Inside Impacts The Outside

"The food that we eat has been altered a lot over the last three decades," stated Dr. Robin. She elaborated on the motif of how the inside impacts the outside. "Today, there are more refined meals these days and these are loaded with sugar and salt. Besides the heart, the approach of "dealing with the whole body", will make you a better individual or team player. Every little thing we place in our bodies either harms us or makes us better. The more 'real' the food we consume, the healthier we will be."

The biggest challenge facing teenagers is poor digestion. When food is not fully digested, it compromises the immune system and disrupts the hormonal system. Additionally, teenagers are often addicted to stimulating foods like coffee, energy drinks, and sodas, all which are rich in caffeine and sugar. Sugar, she pointed out, is eight times more addictive than cocaine.

Additionally, Dr Robin shared that teenage health and wellness was influenced by sedentary behaviors. It was also impacted by chemicals in meals and prescriptions, and bad thought patterns. In attempting to alter these problems, parents had to provide a good example. They had to walk their talk, use positive words, and pay attention to meal labels. Dr. Robin proposed an easy means to start a change in diet. Everyone should follow one good health habit each month. Within a year, a person will have mastered 12 healthy behaviors.
