KEY TAKEAWAYS
Serving Size. This provides information regarding the quantity of the product. It is usually per 1 serving. But you have to check because there are some that are 3 or 5 servings.
Calories. This information tells you how much energy you get in a pack.
Fats. This should not be avoided as our body needs the right amount of fat, essential fatty acids that helps with inflammation, brain development, etc.
Unsaturated – this is good for the heart.
Saturated – this comes from meat and dairy. It causes heart diseases.
Trans-fat – this is the worst offender. This is man-made and has no benefit at all. You will want to avoid this at all costs because it will trigger diabetes, heart diseases, cardio vascular complications, etc. Avoid this when you can.
Cholesterol. This helps in controlling the hormones. But too much is not good.
Sodium. This helps the blood pressure. Normally, we should consume 2000 to 3000 mg a day. But if you have a high blood pressure complication, you would need just around 1000 mg per day.
Total Carbohydrates. This is the source of our energy.
Processed – this will make you hungry sooner.
Whole Grain – this has more fiber.
Enriched/Bleached. This is processed carbohydrates. It has little nutrition.
Whole Grains. It helps in our digestion process to make it run smoothly.
Sugar.
Natural - organic
Added – this is added to change the taste of the pack. Overconsumption of this sugar will lead to high blood pressure, diabetes.
Protein. It helps facilitate with muscle repair and growth. This is needed for our bodies to run properly.

BEST MOMENTS

“Reading the food label can seem daunting, especially at first. But after some practice, you will be able to know exactly what you look for in the labels. And over time, you’ll know what to expect before you even see itself.”

“It is not telling a full picture.”

“It is important to remember that the list is only 1 serving.”

“Keep healthy, keep wealthy.”

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

His World Game-Changers podcast embraces a mutually-respectful conversational style, with guests that are deemed ‘Unsung Heroes’ – selfless, dedicated people that contribute to the betterment of the world, in whatever way they can…


“Remember: The World’s Changing…

How Will YOU Respond?”
