About me

My name is Miguel Rodrigues and I am a qualified nutritionist.

I have always had a passion for food and how it determines who we are. I have acquired diverse experience working in clinical nutrition, community nutrition, and also in the health foods industry., both from the manufacturer and from the retailer sides. This varied experience has been incredibly invaluable to widen my vision and views about nutrition and health.

The relationship between food and health has always been acknowledged, however, only recently we have really started to drill down on the specific elements, nutrients and non nutritive substances, and how do they interact with one’s body. It is indeed a fascinating area or research, yet very complex, and we have only seen the tip of the iceberg!

Because of the emerging research and the ever growing interest in nutrition, we are witnessing overwhelming amounts of information being relayed to the general public, which often leads to conflicting information and confusion.

My objective with this blog is to convert scientific information into simple and brief messages that can be clearly understood by the general public. Nowadays, everyone is so busy to be reading long blog posts, but at the same time, everyone seems to be more and more interested in looking after their health through good food and physical exercise. Here, I will present you with bite sized pieces of information, and i hope they will contribute, not only to your knowledge on nutrition, but ultimately, to your wellbeing.
