Health and Mindset Coach and author of Eat Clean, Live Free: A Woman's Guide to Health, Beauty, And Youthful Energy, Gina Santangelo talks about food and emotions - those times when you find yourself eating for reasons other than satisfying actual physical hunger. Most of us have, at some point, developed an emotional eating pattern. In fact, the term "comfort food" was coined because of the belief that certain foods provide a release from discomfort, or a momentary sense of pleasure and satisfaction when you’re feeling something you don’t want to feel. It doesn't help that food marketing promises an emotional benefit beyond the food itself —  such as comfort, excitement, belonging, etc. In this podcast, Gina gives some tips on how to differentiate between real hunger (the one we must honor) and emotional hunger. Learning to identify our emotional eating triggers and overcoming them will start us off to a path of enjoying our food — and our life — in a whole new, healthier way.

In this week's episode of the GLOW Podcast, Health and Mindset Coach, and author of Eat Clean, Live Free: A Woman's Guide to Health, Beauty, And Youthful Energy, Gina Santangelo educates us about the importance of maintaining PH balance in the body by balancing our intake of acidic and alkaline foods. As with most health-related barometers, balance is everything. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is rife with acidic substances and foods — meat, dairy, highly processed food products and refined sugar. This leads to excess acidity, which in turn sets the stage for bad bacteria (like yeast and fungus) and even viruses that wreak havoc on our health. The good news is, we can potentially tip the PH scales in the alkaline direction with a diet filled with mineral-rich plant foods.
