On Sunday (10), singer Gaby Amarantos used Instagram to share with her followers that she lost 14 kilos after adopting new eating habits.
“I took a few days off to take care of my health and I’ve already lost 14 kg by diving into biogenic eating. Yes, I have been doing enemas, drinking a lot of live juice, healthy food, hiking, hiking and feeling light and more connected with myself and nature”, wrote the artist.
“[…] Mom is lit and open to the beautiful things that the universe still wants to provide me”, she celebrated by sharing a sequence of photos with her fans enjoying herself in the pool.
In the comments, internet users took the opportunity to praise her for her new choices. “What a delight to dive into self-care with so much dedication and lightness. Your power nourishes the world”, wrote a follower. “Stay strong, woman from the North,” said another.
What is biogenic food?
A CNN nutritionist Felipe França, specialist in oxidology and cellular biochemistry, explains that biogenic nutrition is a concept that involves a holistic approach to nutrition, going beyond the food part.
“It is based on the idea that the food consumed must be natural, organic and in its purest form possible, so that it can provide vital energy or ‘bioenergy’ to the body”, he says.
Organic, fresh and minimally processed foods form the basis of biogenic nutrition, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and foods of animal origin, created sustainably and without the use of hormones or antibiotics.
The benefits and indications
Felipe mentions that, among the benefits attributed to biogenic nutrition are the intake of more nutritious foods free of chemical residues, which can promote general health, increase energy, improve digestion and strengthen the immune system.
However, it reinforces that it is not necessarily recommended for everyone looking to lose weight, since the main focus is not weight loss, but the quality of food and the search for more comprehensive health.
“Many people can benefit from this approach, but it is important to always consult a nutritionist if you wish to make sudden changes to your diet, even to something more natural”, he highlights.
What are enemas?
In the publication, the singer also says that she has been doing an enema. The procedure, according to the professional, involves the introduction of liquid (usually water) into the rectum and colon for cleansing or therapeutic purposes.
“Gaby Amarantos mentioned that she has been doing enemas, which could be part of a practice to help detox. However, it must be carried out with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it can present risks if not done correctly”, she highlights.
Live food?
According to the nutritionist, the term, also used by the artist, is used generically to describe foods that have not been cooked or processed at high temperatures.
“Adherents of the practice believe that live food is richer in nutrients [mesmo sabendo que esse tipo de alimentação também contém fatores antinutricionais que são quebrados pela cocção como os fitatos e oxalatos – certos compostos antioxidantes benéficos para o corpo também são ativados através da cocção, como o licopeno] and enzymes that would benefit digestion and health in general”, he concludes.
