There’s a lot of confusing health information out there. But in her new book Every Body Should Know This, Dr Federica Amati, head nutritionist at ZOE, explores the science-backed nutrition rules and principles we should know at every stage of life – and they’re less complicated than you might think.
The book is an informative journey through the seasons of life, and one of the fundamental principles of health that Dr Amati explores is homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment, despite changes in the external environment. It’s key to understand homeostasis, because it helps us to understand how our bodies work and how to keep them healthy.
How do we make sure that our homeostatic point is healthy? Dr Amati explains that our body keeps a measure on what ‘normal’ – or your personal constant – is. Consistency is key, so forget fad trends that promise to overhaul your health. The real secret to long-term health lies in making consistently healthy choices.
