Listen To Your Body Talk
Listen To Your Body Talk
If we listen very close our body speaks to us. Our inner voice tells us when something is not right. Our body talks to us in the form of physical symptoms and reveals to us problems within through these symptoms. What we must do is ask the question of what is causing these symptoms our body reveals to us and what needs to be changed to fix the underlying problems. Symptoms need to be corrected and not suppressed.
When we get a headache the first thing we do is reach for a pain reliever, and in most cases the pain reliever then takes the pain away. What we must ask is what caused the pain, which is a symptom of our body telling us of a problem. What you actually got was a temporary fix to head pain, however what caused the pain in the first place is still there.
Several years ago, I sat at my doctors office frustrated to tears because I had a chronic skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This chronic skin condition affects the glandular areas of the body in which causes boil type lesions that are very painful. With no known cure or cause of this condition, the doctors I saw could not offer me much help. This is when I knew that I must help myself and find the reason for my condition. I listened to my body by taking a good look at the symptoms my body was using to tell me something was wrong.
This is when I really took a good look at what I was putting into my body on an every day basis. My diet consisted of fast foods and lots of sugar filled snacks. Does this sound familiar to you? If it does then you are in the same boat as I was along with the majority of others. Eventually this diet or lifestyle leads to an illness or disease. It may not be right now but eventually in most cases some sort or illness will strike. It may not be
the condition I had however, your body may react differently to your lifestyle and cause a different condition than that of mine.
So what can we do? What we can do is change our lifestyle or eating habits to whole natural foods. We can start now by eliminating refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, white flour products and cut back on red meat if not eliminate red meat completely form our diets, and start eating more whole natural foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, natural sweeteners and oils. This is what our body wants and needs to be healthy.
Even if you start by making one change a day towards eating whole natural foods, you are taking a step towards better health and having more energy. Not only will you gain more energy, but also you can lose weight in the process. And it works because it is according to nature's laws. Happily eating whole natural foods and correcting my body's balance and function, I was able to heal from the chronic skin condition I suffered with for seven years and in the process lose 70 pounds.
Shhhhhhh, listen close, your body is talking to you. What is your body saying to you? Learn to listen close and to give your body what it needs to be healthy. Only you can make the changes, there are no magic pills, and remember, you are what you eat! What you put in is what you get out. When you fuel your body with whole natural foods, your body will thank you for it and you will reap the rewards.
