I've only just started to read this book - Ultra Processed People, and it's blowing my mind already.
I'm sharing it because being part of my Packed With Heart Community, I expect you're already well aware of how important it is to ask What's In My Food?
If you sometimes waver in being a stand for your children's health because you don't want to be seen as 'that parent', please know the science is finally catching up. There is now a growing body of researching strongly linking ultra processed foods to many chronic health conditions. Here's a direct quote from the book for you:
"UPF damages the human body and increase the rates of cancer, metabolic disease and mental illness, that it damages human societies by displacing food cultures and driving inequality, poverty and early death, and that it damages the planets."
Keep being a stand for your children's health. Being 'that parent' just means you are being your child's health hero.
WELLBEING FUND FOR GOVT SCHOOLS
Food is an important part of wellbeing. ๐๐ฅ๐ฅฆ๐
What we eat turns into nutrients for our brain. ๐๐ฅ๐ฅฆ๐= ๐ง
Or as Dr Chris says in Ultra Processed People, it's "the stuff from which we construct our bodies."
The Government have recognised that anxiety and mental health is growing amongst our young people. In an aim to help schools support the wellbeing of their students, department of education schools (Australia wide) have been given up to $10,000 to spend on wellbeing.
If you've been wanting one of our incredible Certified Instructors to come to your school, now is a fantastic time to introduce us to your school. This wellbeing fund can be used to fund programs like ours.
Make an enquiry here and one of our Certified Instructors will reach out and chat to you about what to do next.
