Healthy Planet, Healthy You: Simple Habits to Create a Brighter Future Kindle Edition

by Ximena Yáñez Soto (Author), Camila Rodríguez Yáñez (Illustrator), Laura Elliott (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Think about this: “Even your smallest choice can bring the greatest good to the greatest number of people for the longest time.” It’s just a matter of understanding the extraordinary power of those small choices and your willingness to embark on a transformative journey that will unveil one of the most concealed truths of our modern times.

Packed with meticulous research and compelling insights, Healthy Planet, Healthy You carefully describes why your food choices might not have been entirely yours in the first place and will help you understand how what you choose to put in your body can restore not only your health but turn the modern environmental threats to actually heal the planet.

This book addresses the not-always-clear connection between our meals and the health & environmental crises and sheds light on the hidden but high costs of our daily habits. But it does not stop there, the real goal is to guide and empower you through simple and practical steps to create a meaningful transformation in your life and the lives of the people you love. With expert guidance and thought-provoking stories, you'll discover that not everything is as we have been led to believe and that your diet has an incredibly positive large-scale impact. Yes, your plate is a catalyst for change and every meal can contribute to a healthier world.

Featuring 16 exclusive plant-based recipes by renowned Mexican chef Natalia Delgado, this book serves as both a resource guide and a cookbook for delicious, healthy, and eco-friendly meals. Healthy Planet, Healthy You is your stepping stone on the path to a healthier, happier, and more purposeful life, inspiring you to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

Happy reader

Our opportunity to choose

In certain cultures, a single term encompasses both "problem" and "opportunity" because life remains impartial; it lacks inherent positivity or negativity. Life unfolds without intent toward you; it merely unfolds, leaving you the power to take any situation as either a challenge or a chance. You hold the authority to decide.

You may be aware of some narratives foretelling a challenging future… but then, therein lies an opening for improvement, a remarkable chance for transformation. One fact remains clear: we must exercise creativity to counteract the implications of human activity on the climate, the surroundings, and our well-being. The time has come to fashion "possibilities within impossibilities." It all comes down to choice.

Uncover the potential of conscious living for a healthier world, benefiting both yourself and generations to come.

"Healthy Planet, Healthy You" is a gift for each of us and, at the same time, a gesture of care and comprehension for this world that gives us a home and sustenance. Ximena's straightforward, friendly, and smart narrative takes us by the hand to individually contribute to a paradigm change in our eating habits and well-being.

She invites us to embrace a healthy lifestyle through the art of conscious living, and shares tools and ideas to positively transform our lives whilst caring for our planet, our home. Her writing reflects her passion, kindheartedness, and spirituality while challenging the collective thought to create “possibilities within impossibilities”, therefore, she invites us to exercise our right to choose and live the life we are capable of living.

She has worked, for more than 25 years, as CFO and financial consultant of three environmental funds that protect priority habitats and promote initiatives to improve the management of natural resources, the regeneration of different ecosystems, and sustainable development in Mexico, northern Mexico, and the Mesoamerican Reef. As part of her own journey to overcome chronic and “uncurable” diseases, she decided to explore new alternatives to personal and professional transformation and became a Certified International Wellness Coach, a Biomagnetism and Reiki therapist, and a Yoga instructor. She also ventured into radio, co-hosting the program/podcast “Healthy Planet Healthy You”.

Ximena is an engaging bi-lingual speaker, fluent in Spanish and English, and she feels inspired to give talks about the current environmental and health challenges and solutions for the betterment of the planet and the fulfillment of our duty as good ancestors to corporate women and professional groups, wellness and environmental summits or conferences, nutrition groups or seminars, women’s month, and student orientation at schools and universities.

    When I opened the pages of “Healthy Planet,Healthy You” I had no idea what to expect! Is it about nutrition and transformational diet change? I have been reading nutrients based healthy living books since I was 11 years old. The short answer, YES! Is this book about saving the planet through intention living and radical self responsibility? YES! Is this a book that will speak to the political manipulation and socio-economic conditions of the food supply and industry today? YES! Is this a tender and candid biography and personal story of a woman who accepted the personal challenge of creating a healthy personal and global home for herself, her family and her planet? YES! Is this a philosophy and faith centered teaching of compassionate living, and awakening to our current human condition? YES! Is this a book of Hope, Inspiration and insight and Prayerful calling? YES! Is this a practical guide offering step by step tips on how to create a healthy kitchen, lifestyle and zeitgeist for your family? yES! Is this a cookbook with delicious recipes?YES! If you are seeking knowledge, confidence, inspiration, practical step by step guidance and a revolutionary way to approach saving your life, providing a healthy environment for yourself, your family and your community as well as saving this extraordinary blessed planet that we call home, READ THIS BOOK! It’s tender, funny, smart, enlightening, compass, educational and FAIR! Thank you Ximena for this brilliant book, you are a shiny star in the constellation of forward thinking, articulate and awake guides who will teach us how to save ourselves and our homes and live a happier, healthier and gentler life! I give this book 5 Stars! You will too!

    Healthy Planet, Healthy You is an enjoyable and easy book to read with practical advice and suggestions that benefit the reader and the planet. The book combines the author’s two careers: environmental conservation and nutritional health trainer. She selects her facts and figures carefully and intelligently so that the reader is not overwhelmed with statistics but understands the key dynamics often underlying the health crisis see today. Not unsurprisingly, money is the root cause, but I had no appreciation for the extent to which Congress and even the Supreme Court were culpable facilitators.

    She provides clear, practical, non-dogmatic tips to help the reader take the first steps or fifth step to a more sustainable diet. Her approach is very current.

    When I started to listen to this book, I was hoping to learn a few ways to make a difference while I’m here on Earth, while living my best life. I was pleasantly surprised at how inspired I feel now, and hope that has been restored in my mind. Rather than using fear to sell ideas, this book takes a practical approach to making change. It’s educational and leaves me feeling confident that what I do as an individual matters. Especially for future generations.

    Healthy Planet, Healthy You is a thought-provoking resource by an author who shares her personal journey, and offers information that makes the reader reconsider their environmental future.
    As someone who is mindful of what I eat and how I treat my body, I now either don’t use ketchup or I use it more sparingly. I now look at food labels and advertising with a jaundiced eye. Well, better late than never. Thank you Healthy Planet, Healthy You!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022
    Healthy Plant, Healthy you is a must read for anyone who cares about their own health or the health of the planet. As far as I am concerned, that includes everyone alive. Ximena explains in easy to understand terms what’s at stake if the animal agriculture industry continues to exploit the earth and pollute human beings with hazardous animal products. The author incorporates extensive research to support her sound position. It is up to the reader to digest and make changes for a healthier plant and for their own survival.
