Asmaa Lahlou – Naturopathic Chef
Did you know that inflammation is the root cause of 80% of chronic diseases (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, asthma & allergies, alzheimer, cancer, …) and it is preventible through diet and lifestyle.
As a certified Naturopathic Chef with a special interest in cultural wisdom, my first motto is “Put some culture in your spoon and you will never crave junk food”
But as a foodie my second motto is “Yes to natural whole foods {unrefined, minimally processed, unpasteurized, ideally organic or naturally grown, local and seasonal} but no compromise on taste!”
That’s why, you will only find in this space curated and tested healthy recipes and products that have received thumbs-up from the whole family and that would not contribute to more inflammation: fermented grains, reactivated nuts & seeds, no vegetable oil/transfat, no refined sugar, no (conventional) dairy, no GMO, pesticide-free ingredients as much as possible… but rather reduce inflammation thanks to more anti-inflammatory herbs & spices, omega3 fats, prebiotics, enzymes & zinc-rich foods.
Even with natural and healthy foods, we have to listen to the wisdom of our individual bodies… “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” is an illusion, a fantasy, a delusion! What works for me won’t necessarily work for all of you! We are all UNIQUE, one of a kind, and staying true to ourselves is KEY!
That’s why we have to listen to our own body and make our spoon as authentic as possible to ourselves but there are a few guiding principles that I will be sharing with you in this space for optimum health and wellness, so you can help your family and friends take control and get even healthier* using food as medicine.
Healthy eating is a journey and I really encourage you to continue your own food-education. I’d love to hear about it, so share your experience and questions with Authentik Healthy Foodies just like you and me! Head over to INSTAGRAM or to FACEBOOK.
