Mosaic of good nutrition | Nasia Pachaleri | TEDxAUEB

Nasia Paschaleri is a dietitian-gerontologist (MSc). During her TEDx talk, she explained that a healthy, balanced and beneficial for our health, nutrition looks a lot like a mosaic.

Mosaic is an image or work of art made by combining various small pieces. The features of a mosaic include, besides the variety of colours, a durable base to be placed in pebbles or tiles.

Similarly, the characteristics of a balanced diet include nutritional variety, strong bases from childhood and, of course, the results of a successful, long-term consultation with the dietitian.

The above make building a mosaic quite similar to building strong health: It takes persistence and resilience to construct a mosaic, as it takes to adopt a healthy diet and consequently a good health.

Besides, nature is full of colourful and healthy small pieces like fruits, vegetables and nuts which could become parts of a mosaic. Including these unprocessed macrobiotic foods in your diet could result in healthier years.
