How AI Is Helping With Healthy Diets
Maintaining a healthy diet does not always mean eating minimally. Its important to create and maintain a healthy relationship food and that could look like needing to eat more in some instances. An often overlooked aspect of being a worker, especially during longer hours, is how elevated stress leads to changes in eating patterns.
This can manifest as unhealthy eating (ordering fast food to save time), skipping meals, or even overeating due to work-related stress. When intentional eating is not practiced, it’s easier to fall into these patterns without noticing. However, with guidance, it becomes much easier to track and maintain a diet that is beneficial for the body while feeling motivated to do so.
