The Power of Food Beliefs: Shifting the Negative to Positive
The Power of Food Beliefs: Shifting the Negative to Positive
Food has always been a fundamental aspect of our lives, not just as a source of nourishment but also as a cultural and social symbol. However, with food, come beliefs, and unfortunately, many of these beliefs have been passed down from generation to generation and have resulted in negative and restrictive attitudes towards food. This has been especially evident in the way we talk about food and meals with children.
This negative language around food has resulted in a generation of children who are struggling with their relationship with food, their bodies, and health. They are exposed to a world where food is often viewed as the enemy, where there are good foods and bad foods, and where they are constantly being told what they can and cannot eat. This leads to confusion and anxiety, and it undermines their trust in their body's signals of hunger and fullness.
