Four Ways to Improve Work Performance through Changes in Your Diet - a podcast by Torrey Peace

We all know the saying “you are what you eat”. Well what if you performed how you ate as well? I know since learning more about diet and nutrition, I definitely notice a correlation between how I am feeling and what I had for lunch. Knowing how food impacts your performance can allow you to take it to the next level, and that is just what we aim to do in this episode. My husband Shannon, although not a nutritionist, has spent hours researching and experimenting on the impact of food on health and performance, and would like to share what he has learned with you, so you can try on your own and see what allows you to be operating at your best. And even better, we share some tips on how to maintain your health in some of the most difficult posts globally in international development and humanitarian work.

What is covered in this episode includes:

• The impact of an all carrot diet

• Three things you should make sure to include in your diet

• The difference between good and bad fats

• Why carbs are not all bad

• Best practices when choosing what food to eat

• Tips on how to get the best quality food in developing countries
