A Chat About Food | #HealthHour no. 6

Let’s talk about food, baby!

What’ your favorite food? How’s your relationship with food? Let’s take a look at the #HealthHour answers!

If you’re new to #HealthHour it’s a Twitter chat about living a healthy lifestyle with a focus on physical and mental well-being rather than weight loss and restriction. It’s at Mondays 8 PM (UK TIME), usually hosted by me, @Annesmiless, and a great way to connect with new friends who are on the same journey as you!

The topic for this chat was “Food” and the lovely Victoria had agreed to host the chat for me while left the face of the internet earth for a week. She did a wonderful job, and I’m thinking of opening up for more guest hosts in the future.

The following will be a recap of some of the answers in case you missed the that or don’t have a Twitter. You are very welcome to leave your answers in the comments. Otherwise, I hope you can learn something from the other guys’ answers! 🙂
