00:00So what happens to your body when you start eating healthy?

00:03Here are some things you'll notice immediately,

00:05and hopefully will keep you eating healthy in the future.

00:08Now I was thinking about this the other day

00:09when I was watching a lecture about climate change.

00:12And I said, well, what does climate change

00:13have to do with eating healthy?

00:15Well, the whole point of this lecture

00:17was that climate change doesn't necessarily impact you

00:21right where you are at that time.

00:23The impacts regarding climate change

00:25and how it relates to you are distant.

00:28It may be somebody who lives far away.

00:31It may be 20 years in the future, maybe even your grandkids.

00:35And it's really hard to make yourself make changes

00:39for things that are not impacting you immediately.

00:42We all have this problem.

00:43You know, if you put your hand on the stove and it hurts,

00:44you're gonna take your hand away

00:45and you're never gonna touch it again.

00:47But if you eat some sugary foods,

00:49and 30 years later you're at risk for a heart attack,

00:52that's a much harder association to make

00:55and change to make based on those things.

00:57So today I'm gonna give you some things

00:59that you can pay attention to that maybe will happen quickly.

01:03So you can be motivated to make healthy changes

01:05and continue to lead a healthier life.

01:20Every week I wanna give you one piece of information,

01:22make you more knowledgeable,

01:24so that you can lead a healthier lifestyle

01:27and better your health in many ways.

01:29So the first thing you'll notice

01:30when you start eating healthier foods

01:32is you'll want healthier foods in the future.

01:34Believe it or not, but the more you eat them,

01:36the more you'll want them later,

01:38and the more your body will get used to them.

01:41So you kinda have to just get over that hump,

01:43and then your body will keep asking for you to be healthy.

01:47Next, and this is my favorite one,

01:49you're gonna feel better.

01:50Pay attention to how you feel

01:51after you have a big heavy meal or fast food.

01:55You probably don't feel so good,

01:57but if you've eaten a lighter meal that still tastes good,

02:00but that doesn't have so many calories or fat or salt,

02:03your body will actually feel better,

02:05especially if you've made that food at home.

02:08Pay attention to your body.

02:09It'll tell you how you feel after you eat,

02:11and if you pay attention,

02:13you'll notice that healthier food makes you feel better.

02:17You know what else you're gonna feel?

02:18You're gonna feel more confident.

02:20Now, how does confidence have to do with how you're eating?

02:22I'll tell you.

02:23When you make a decision,

02:25and you make a change to do something

02:27to better your health,

02:29you're gonna be proud of yourself.

02:31And you should be, because it's not easy.

02:33But making a decision to go on a walk,

02:36or exercise, or create a healthy meal,

02:39will make you feel better about yourself.

02:42Not only will your body feel better,

02:44but you're gonna be more confident,

02:46and you're gonna wanna keep making decisions

02:48to keep up that confidence,

02:50to make you feel better, make you feel stronger.

02:53You won't regret it.

02:54It'll happen pretty quickly.

02:56Just think about the last time

02:58you made a delicious meal that was good for you,

03:01or the last time you went to the gym.

03:03Think about the lasting effects

03:05of making that decision on your psyche.

03:09It's really important.

03:11You'll notice a difference immediately.

03:13Lastly, your gut health is gonna improve.

03:16Okay, this may not be something

03:17that you notice exactly immediately,

03:19but we as physicians are noting more and more

03:22how important the gut microbiome is,

03:26how your gut microbiome may play a role

03:28in anything from your immunity,

03:32to your brain health, to anxiety and depression.

03:36So in addition to possibly helping all these other things

03:38in your body,

03:39you'll also have less bloating most likely,

03:42and you may be more regular.

03:43These are important things that can affect you

03:45on a day-to-day basis,

03:46and I want you to pay attention to.

03:49Okay, did I convince you to eat healthy?

03:50I hope so.

03:51I hope that I at least gave you some ideas

03:53about what to pay attention to in your own body

03:55when you're making decisions to help benefit your health,

04:00making decisions every day to cook food at home,

04:02making decisions every day to use less salt, less fat,

04:06less sugar.

04:07There are many things that you can do every day,

04:09and you will notice the impacts immediately.

04:12It's much more difficult to make changes

04:14based on things in the future

04:16or things that are far away from you,

04:17so focus on the immediate changes,

04:19things that you see within the hours and minutes

04:22and days from when you eat something that's better for you.

04:27I think you'll see a real difference.
