some of the things, which would be a healthy lifestyle," 2 Chainz says, peep the Snappers getting it down in the kitchen

2 Chainz met up with
Dr. Travis Stork, to shows off a few of his healthy Southern food recipes
from his new cookbook. The Rapper also shared the reason behind the cookbook
was a product of his battles with ulcers and acid reflux that he suffer with for years.
2 Chainz explains that he had to change the way he eats by making attempt
to break the stereotype that all Southern food is unhealthy. The hip hop
recording artist is using the platform of his music success to spread the
message and saids:
“What you put in
your body is what you get out.”
The Dr asks the
rapper if he created his new cookbook 'Meal Time' out of a sense of social
responsibility, 2 Chainz replied:
“I’m
definitely not trying to be a preacher. I’m a rap artist first but at the same
time I understand that I do have a platform. I just try to share some of the
things, which would be the healthy lifestyle.”
Chainz added:
“I cut out the fried foods, I don’t drink any alcohol, I can’t
have any orange juice, lemonade, things like that and it just developed a
certain way for me to eat.” The difference was almost immediate. “I felt
like a whole other person. I definitely felt younger. I had more energy.”
