What did you eat today?

What did you eat today? 

What you eat is what you feed not just your body, but your mind and spirit too.

Every meal is an opportunity to nourish yourself on multiple levels, choosing foods that support your physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being.

By opting for nutritious, whole foods, you're not just satisfying hunger; you're investing in your overall vitality and resilience.

Conversely, consistently consuming processed or unhealthy foods can have a detrimental impact, not only on your physical health but also on your mental clarity and emotional balance.

Therefore, making conscious choices about what you put on your plate is akin to selecting the building blocks for your body, mind, and soul.

Shall we take some time to compile a comprehensive list of the various foods we typically consume over the course of a week?

By doing so, we can gain valuable insight into our dietary habits and patterns.

Once we have this list in front of us, we can pause and reflect on any choices that may be deemed unhealthy or less beneficial for our overall well-being.

This reflection presents an opportunity for self-awareness and mindfulness about our eating habits.

Subsequently, we can explore alternative options that offer greater nutritional value and support our health goals.

This process of swapping out less healthy choices for healthier alternatives can be a transformative step towards adopting a more nourishing and balanced diet.

It not only enhances our physical health but also contributes to our mental and emotional wellness.

Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and dietary improvement together

With lots of positivity,

Aisha

A Heartfelt Journey: Bridging Health and Wellness with Montana First Nation

On November 21st, 2024, as Edmonton grappled with icy roads and heavy snowfall, three International Medical Graduates (IMGs) set out on a mission to bring health education to the Montana First Nation. The weather was unforgiving—roads were slippery, visibility was poor, and the cold was biting. Yet, our shared purpose carried us forward. Dr. Romasa Joyo, Dr. Usman Adewole, and I, Dr. Aisha Ashraf, joined forces under the guidance of our facilitator, Albert Roland Alcaraz from AIMGA (Alberta International Medical Graduates Association). Dr. Joyo took the wheel that morning, navigating the treacherous conditions with determination and care, as we made our way to connect with the community and share insights about diabetes. A Cultural Connection Through Food Before the session, we were invited to share a traditional meal with the community. The warmth and hospitality were as nourishing as the food itself.
