What you eat is only half of the equation to nourishment. You could eat the healthiest diet in the world, but if you aren’t eating those foods in a way that promotes healthy digestion, those nutrients you consume from all those healthy foods will not be able to nourish your body.
The complete food picture for wellness has to be about WHAT you eat and HOW you eat. Eating fast, eating in a hurry, eating while stressed, eating without paying attention to your meal, eating with negative emotions and eating with little to no preparation of foods all encourage your digestive system to slow or shut down, resulting in an inability to actually assimilate those nutrients. This means, even if what you are eating is healthy you will struggle to receive the goodness from the foods. We are now living in a world where there isn’t actually time to eat, so instead we fit it in while doing our other tasks, chores and jobs for the day. Indirectly we are creating a society of people who are unable to digest their foods all because we are ‘too busy’. When was the last time you sat down and spent an hour or more enjoying your meal without having to be somewhere else? When did you last deep breath and relax through every mouthful? When was your last meal that you spent laughing, happy, and fully present within your eating environment? The issue with this whole obesity and weight loss thing does not start with eating better foods and cutting out unhealthy treats. It begins with eating in a relaxed and happy state that promotes healthy digestion and love and nourishment of the food you eat. Relax, deep breath, and be present – every time you eat! Kerri x
