Working on my future - Health Fair 2019

The 9th of February it was finally time for me to visit a Health Fair! This time it was in Utrecht, so, close to my hometown. It was actually in the same building as the Fitfair I went to last year!

But... This time, the Health Fair, an event full of stands and presentations about health, illness and mindfulness. Beforehand I had planned some speaches that I wanted to listen to so I arrived early enough to make it.

The first speech I wanted to go to was from Larissa Ruwiel from LoveFitFood and it was one of favourites of the day as well. The reason I thought this was one of the most interesting presentations of that day was because she talked about food cravings, something I experience a lot as well. Food cravings come from physical hormone inbalances or as an emotional coping strategy. Once we start facing our true feelings the food cravings and binging fases that sometimes follow will go away.

Another highlight of the day was the presentation and demonstration of Rudolph van Veen, a Dutch tv-cook that I've been following in my youth for a long time. I used to watch his videos a lot on the television when I was younger. Recently I was wondering why he wasn't on tv as much as earlier. During this presentation he explained; he left the channel he used to work for to start his own new network called FoodFirst Network. He wasn't happy with the advertisments on the other channel so on his channel you do not have any advertisments at all and you can just watch everything for a small price a month. It was interesting to get to know this and over all it was nice to see him in person as well.

The other workshops I followed were interesting as well, for instance about acids in the body, food-related diseases, a little bit about fitness etc.

It was definitely worth my time and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested as well!
