Youtube

The podcast “Direta Sem Café,” by Lusófona University, presents a new episode dedicated to clarifying doubts and debunking popular myths about diets and healthy eating. The special guest is António Palmeira, a lecturer in Physical Education and Sports, who shares scientific knowledge and practical strategies to consciously promote health and well-being.

During the episode, topics such as trendy diets, dietary restrictions, and the importance of balance between nutrition and physical activity are explored in depth. The conversation highlights the main myths circulating in society, providing the audience with evidence-based tools to build more consistent and effective habits.

Additionally, Professor Palmeira answers practical questions, such as the influence of routines on creating healthy habits, the psychological and social challenges that hinder changes, and the importance of turning initial motivation into long-lasting behaviours. He also reinforces the role of personalised programmes in achieving better results, in contrast to standardised approaches and miracle promises.

The episode emphasises that balance and knowledge are key allies in the pursuit of a healthier life. To avoid the pitfalls of dietary fads, the podcast recommends always seeking guidance from specialised professionals.

Available on major streaming platforms, “Diretas Sem Café” invites students, teachers, and the academic community to listen, share, and participate by sending questions and suggestions for future episodes. The season “What Are You Hungry For?” remains committed to fostering relevant discussions about health and knowledge.
