Focus on Sustainable Eating, Says Nutritionist
Čebrna, Slovenia – According to certified nutritionist Mojca Cepuš, a key element of sustainable eating is a practice rooted in traditional methods. “Our grandmothers ate the most sustainable way,” she stated. The emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced food with minimal processing aligns with what is considered optimal for human health.
Cepuševa highlights that in today’s fast-paced environment, conscious decisions regarding sustainable nutrition are becoming increasingly important. Our bodies are naturally adapted to consuming locally and seasonally available foods. The less processed a food is, the more nutrients it retains, offering greater benefits to the body.
To translate this into practical dietary choices, Cepuš recommends a simple guideline: 25-25-50. This breakdown suggests that half of a meal should consist of vegetables, one-quarter should be comprised of carbohydrates, and one-quarter should be protein. This distribution not only promotes a balanced nutritional intake but also reduces the environmental impact of food choices.
Ultimately, embracing a more trajnostno approach to eating, kot our ancestors did, is a way to reconnect with nature and support healthier lifestyles. The wisdom of our babice offers valuable insights into a more sustainable future.
