Por Que Estamos Cada Vez Mais Doentes? A Resposta Pode Estar no Seu Prato | Maria Vitória Abreu

Have you ever stopped to think that many of the health problems we face today may be directly related to what we put on our plates every day? Anxiety, depression, insulin resistance, autoimmune diseases, obesity, Alzheimer's, and so many other conditions have something in common: the way we nourish our bodies. More than just providing energy, food influences brain function, hormonal balance, inflammation in the body, and even our quality of life. In this episode of the Horizontes Podcast, we welcome nutritionist Maria Vitória for an in-depth conversation about the impact of food on physical and mental health. Throughout the conversation, she explains how the eating habits of modern society are contributing to the increase in chronic diseases, why the gut is considered one of the main contributors to our health, and how small changes in behavior can transform the way we live, age, and prevent disease. A conversation based on science, clinical experience, and, above all, choices that anyone can start putting into practice. In this episode you will discover: • How food directly influences brain function. • The relationship between inflammation, anxiety, and depression. • The impact of insulin resistance on health. • Why the gut is considered the "second brain". • How ultra-processed foods affect the body. • The importance of nutrition during pregnancy and menopause. • The role of the ketogenic diet in different clinical conditions. • How to prevent chronic diseases through healthier habits. • Why it's never too late to change your diet and invest in quality of life.
