005: Confused About Food? Then This Episode Is for You - a podcast by Spencer Coppin, Dai Manuel & Adam Hart

from 2016-10-04T07:00

:: ::

On this week's episode, Dai, Adam and Spencer dive into food philosophy and why food plays such a critical role in our health and how we are feeling. Why do you eat what you eat? That's today's question. Everything we put into our bodies has an impact. However, we don't have to revolutionize our eating habits within a day either. You can start a quick 7-day challenge or even introduce new foods into your diet slowly. If your mouth was a fuel tank, what kind of fuel would you put in you to help the machine run efficiently?
