Today I have the pleasure of welcoming Lucie from the blog Vivons physio-logique to give us some concrete advice to boost your productivity through healthy eating .
Have you noticed that successful entrepreneurs eat healthy?
Maxence Rigottier, Olivier Roland, Margaux Klein and many others clearly proclaim their healthy lifestyle.
We see more and more successful entrepreneurs posing with a glass of smoothie in hand. A few decades ago, it was the Gauloise that was de rigueur, now it would be the raspberry.
So fashion or reality?
I am Lucie, a mumpreneur of 3 children, a self-taught naturopath, author, trainer and founder of the website Vivons physio-logique. I support women and their families in moving towards a healthier lifestyle without frustration and with full knowledge of the facts.
Today I’m joining Emma’s blog to explain why healthy eating and entrepreneurship go hand in hand with success . I’ll also give you a 9-step action plan to boost your productivity naturally.
Why is it so important to eat healthy when you are an entrepreneur?
Do you find it hard to believe that eating more fruit and fewer chocolate bars will boost your productivity and therefore your turnover?
So go and have a look at one of the biggest (if not the biggest) American companies in Silicon Valley, namely Google.
When Google bets on the well-being of its engineers
If we had to talk about a successful company, we could only talk about it. With a turnover of 182.5 billion dollars in 2020 , Google is therefore the first company in the world. Enough to turn a few heads.
Since its creation in 1998, the company has implemented a whole series of strategies to increase its productivity and therefore its turnover. One of its strategies, which may surprise more than one, is to focus on the well-being of its engineers .
Green spaces landscaped outside, games and sports
rooms, organization of activities for the engineers’ children, they have thought of everything. And of course, healthy food is on the agenda. A starred chef prepares quality dishes for them every day, with very little cooking and almost no industrial products.
If companies like Google, and there are others, promote the well-being of their employees to this extent, it is not only to please them. But to increase their productivity .

What happens in our body when we eat healthy?
Personally, I have seen a marked improvement in my productivity and ability to focus on work.
Indeed, the healthier we eat, the less our body will be weighed down and polluted by a diet full of pesticides, food additives and other GMOs. And these products that 90% of the world’s population consume daily have a devastating impact on our general health.
It has now been proven that the longer it takes to digest a food, the more our ability to concentrate is reduced . Because yes, digestion requires a lot of energy. So the more we eat foods that are difficult to digest (over-processed products, bread, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, etc.), the more energy our body will use for digestion and will no longer have enough for the rest of our activities.
When you digest, the body sends a very large quantity of blood to the stomach. But all this blood that irrigates the stomach during digestion does not therefore optimally irrigate the rest of your body and in particular the brain.
After a meal consisting of heavy foods, your mind seems foggy, your ideas are not clear, you have trouble concentrating and this is quite normal. It is not for nothing that we feel an irresistible urge to sleep after a copious meal.
In addition, a “conventional” diet rich in food additives and other chemical colorings has an undeniable negative impact on your brain function. Your brain is the information processing center of your body, therefore your most valuable work tool .
If you damage it, you’re putting your career in jeopardy . So you might as well put all the chances on your side to preserve this precious partner.
Changing your diet: a real challenge for entrepreneurs
There is nothing more difficult than changing a habit that has been part of our daily lives for decades. And the least we can say is that food is one of these daily habits.
When for years you’ve been eating cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and a ready meal in the evening and suddenly you’re told it’s bad for your health, you don’t want to believe it .
According to WhatsApp, the new feature croatia whatsapp number data 5 million will automatically block messages sent by strangers. As a result, users can use WhatsApp more easily than at present. This feature has to be turned on manually by accessing the Privacy option from Settings. Users can turn off this facility at any time. But sometimes strangers create annoying situations by sending messages on WhatsApp. As a result, some are victims of unwanted situations. At present, the sender of unwanted messages sent by unknown people can be complained to WhatsApp, but this time WhatsApp is going to start blocking the message before it arrives.
How can you imagine having consumed foods for so many years that make you sick?
It takes a good dose of courage and humility to admit that you have been wrong for so many years.
We refuse to face the truth, we hide behind excuses, we tell ourselves that it’s not that serious.
And one day, it’s a tragedy , someone close to us falls ill or suffers from a serious illness like cancer. Then, a second one. Then a third one. We start asking ourselves a lot of questions. What if it happened to me?
You start to pay more attention to
your body. And you discover that work-wise, you are much less productive at certain times of the day, you have trouble really concentrating on your projects.
What’s stopping you from changing your diet isn’t necessarily willpower.
What prevents you from changing your diet are the psychological barriers that have shaped us throughout our childhood and adolescence.
Breaking down your barriers takes a lot of effort and perseverance.
Just like entrepreneurship requires a lot of effort and perseverance.
What you also need to keep in mind is that changing your diet is not a fad. It is a real long-term investment that will allow you to increase your productivity.
Changing your diet is like starting a business .
At the beginning, it’s difficult, we experience a lot of failures, then we bounce back, we persevere, we want to put in place the best and invest for the long term.
Having the courage and perseverance to change your diet is like giving your best to invest in your health.
Entrepreneurship, just like dietary change, are challenges to be taken up, challenges to be won in the hope of achieving the much-anticipated success: professional success and top-level health.
