A few years ago, I found myself in Egypt, caught between soaking in the massive history of humanity and trying to make sense of Egyptian gastronomy—mostly in Arabic.
I walked away with two insights that changed my perspective:
1. On Human History: It’s impossible not to feel humble when you see the scale of human existence compared to the planet. Seeing what we have built over millennia made me realize how short our time on Earth is. It gave me a new sense of perspective on how much we have developed as a species.
2. On Gastronomy: Sincerely? I wasn’t a fan.
The diet is heavily sustained by carbohydrates. While I have no problem with carbs, the lack of balance in most dishes is a clinical reality. Sustained over time, this impact on metabolism is inevitable.
I remember the confusion of standing in a local market, desperately translating nutritional labels, trying to avoid undesired additives. It was a challenge to my own “Structure.”
My solution? I went back to basics. I opted for the freshest ingredients possible, cooked at home, and when I did go out, I stayed flexible but never lost sight of my nutritional goals.
Egypt taught me that being an expat or a global professional doesn’t mean pausing your health. Life in Cairo has a different rhythm—fewer bars, more coffee, and days that don’t truly start until midday. ☕️
But healthy, sustainable nutrition holds even when your life shifts 180 degrees.
My mission at Nutrición Humana is to give you those exact tools: the science to stay sharp, energized, and in equilibrium without falling into extremes. Whether you are navigating the markets of London, the social life of Madrid, or the chaos of Cairo.
