What No One Tells You About Food and Your Body

Everyone tells you that you should take this supplement, or you shouldn’t eat that food. None of that is about asking a question, it’s all about the judgment of what is right or wrong. And its gets passed from person to person like Chinese whispers. How many times have you personally taken a supplement recommended by someone that did almost nothing for your body?

What no one tells you about food and your body is that not one body is the same and only your body can know what is true for it.

So many parents, teachers, doctors and health professionals have been telling us what to eat, and what not to eat that most people have given up being aware of their bodies and asking questions of the body.  

The key to becoming aware of what your body would like is to start to ask it questions. Body what would you like to eat? What would you like to wear? Who would you like to spend time with? Where would you like to go today? You can ask any question that pertains to your body and then comes your turn to listen for the awareness your body can give you.

You may think your body doesn’t have that awareness, but it does.

For example, if you ask your body what it would like, and you scan a menu, something may stand out that you wouldn’t normally like, but your body might require. You can ask your body to show you a yes and a no and see what shows up. For many people their body sways towards food the body likes and away from food it doesn’t but it’s different for everyone.

We have not communicated with our bodies for some time, so it might take a while to regain the communication, but the body will communicate if you are able to listen to it.

Once you have established a communication with your body again you will be amazed by what it knows and how easily it can communicate. The key to gaining more awareness of your body is to ask it questions. When you ask a true question you actually open the doors to your body gifting you the information that is required to change, choose or alter anything that is required. It might be a change of diet, different scenery or wearing some different clothes or it could be telling you it’s time to see a doctor.

Your body is a sensory organism so everything you choose that involves your body contributes to your overall health. Bodies like different kinds of movement, sound, textures, tastes, smells and touches. What does your body desire that you have never let yourself know?
