I always strive to
maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle. I don't smoke, I rarely drink
and recently I cut caffeine out of my life. When I first became
interested in natural health, I was amazed at how diet can really
change our lives. Our bodies are amazing and to be honest they might
just be the only tool we need to keep ourselves fit and healthy! I
have long since given up expensive gym memberships and exercise
equipment. They can't provide anything better than my own body can! I
run, go swimming.. and if I need to lift weights? I compromise by
using items from around the house. One of the most interesting things
I have come across is how our body tells us what we should eat and
when – all we have to do is listen to it!
Have you ever really
craved a certain food? We hear of pregnant women saying this all the
time, but in truth we all experience cravings from time to time. It
is usually a sign that our body is deficient in a certain nutrient.
Our body knows it needs a top up and it tells you by making you
desire foods containing it. It's actually fairly amazing to think
that our bodies are capable of such things. The same applies when
monitoring your diet. We do not need fancy diets or eating plans. Our
body knows what it needs, it can tell us when it is hungry and when
we are full. All we have to do is start listening to our own
intuition and ask ourselves 'am I really hungry?' or 'do I really
need a second slice of pie?'. All of the information is right there
waiting for us if we were only willing to listen.
