Eat Consciously. Lose Weight. Get Healthy.
People in America have the strangest eating habits. Rather than a sacred ritual that is enjoyed, may folks simply cram food in on the go. In those instances even the best foods will not digest well. A lot of those habits come from childhood. The example we see set in childhood is usually what we practice unless we catch on to some better way to perform.
We know that the human body is energy, something like 99.999 formless and the rest is apparent form. When we choose food it should be chosen with that in mind; find foods that are alive with energy; eat them with consciousness and be grateful that our bodies can incorporate the energy of the foods we are eating. Thats why food ingested with a blessing or giving of thanks goes down so much better than foods gobbled down.
Children brought up in a home that celebrates mealtimes will have better digestion as adults. The dinner table is not the time for interrogation or reprimand. If children grow with a bad frame of reference around mealtime they may grow into adults that dread sitting down with others to eat. Their digestion will definitely not be good unless they get help later on to realize the source of the problem.
Foods easily ingested by one child cause allergic reactions in their sibling. This one fact alone is cause for arguments at meal time in many homes. Food preferences involve more than being a picky or a good eater, it involves blood types and what is termed in Eastern Indian Cultures dosha types. Every person is unique and varied in what they are designed to digest really well.
So how does all of this relate to losing weight and being healthy? Foods not digested take more energy to move through the system than they lend to building the body. Foods not fully digested, move through the body slowly, use up precious energy, putrefy in the stomach and small intestine, and over years, line the colon walls. Over the years allergies come on board as well as pounds. A t this point it takes concentrated and disciplined effort to change the tides, that is lose weight and feel better about self.
Can it be done? Absolutely, you can gather all your forces and go for live foods, drink pure water, and plan meals to have the body and a life to match that youve only dreamed of. But exactly how hard will it be? Will you have to starve, do without food or perhaps never have coffee or wine? Oh please, that would be awful. Lets talk balance
Your game plan will be to give yourself leverage. Youll never have to starve, maybe eat smaller and more consciously arranged meals, get a juicer and perhaps eat 75% raw or lightly cooked foods. Your food combining will be to eat fruits alone, perhaps in the morning, to eat proteins with vegetables, vegetables with carbohydrates, bread alone or with raw vegetables. You'll simply make new choices.
Your choices are virtually endless and all of them will empower you on every level. None of them force you to give up enjoyment; they will all add to your enjoyment, boost your self esteem and give you the body and the life you long for. Conscious food choices, gratitude, relaxing meals and pure water all lend to the health and radiant look we feel good wearing, no matter what age we are.
