EP 37. Talking About Nutrition with Miguel López.
Hello! Welcome back to this podcast,Today I have the incredible honor of sharing with you my conversation with Nutritionist, PhD in Food Science, researcher, and professor at UFV, but above all, my friend: Miguel López, known on social media as @nutreconciencia.In today's episode, we chat about:
Vitamin B12: Do only vegans/vegetarians really need to supplement? Or, do people who don't eat red meat also need to, regardless of whether they eat fish, eggs, or dairy?
Is iron from plant-based foods "worse" than iron from animal sources, especially red meat?
Why the current fuss about red meat? Is there really a health risk from its chronic consumption, or are we "exaggerating"?
If we don't consume animal products, can we get the protein we need? Are we at risk of protein deficiency and therefore at risk of muscle loss?
All that and much more is what we discuss in this podcast, which I believe is one of my favorites since I started the podcast almost a year ago. I hope you learn as much as I did talking with Miguel.
