WE EAT PLENTY, BUT ARE WE STILL STARVING?

With a constant access to nutritionally depleted, scientifically created, chemically treated “food,” many of us are taking in a lot of calories that do little to sustain let alone fed us and encourage us to succeed.

With so many of us living this way today, it is not surprising  we struggle with our health and weight?

It’s so easy to grab a prepackaged, stop at vending machine or drive thru restaurant, but what price are you really paying for all that “convenience?” Plus sized clothing, higher medical bills and a decreased quality of life are just a few. Why? Our bodies are designed to eat fresh, natural, whole foods that supply us with an endless array of vitamins, minerals, fiber and incredible nutrients. Denying yourself of what truly healthy food provides steals you of your health, youth and vitality.

Here’s what also happens when you eat this way. Foods that don’t nourish you also don’t truly satisfy you. So, we overeat in a search to find that satisfaction that those convenient food choices simply can’t provide. Of course all of this empty overeating causes weight gain and when our weight starts to consume us enough, we may severely confine ourselves believing that starving and unhappiness is the only way to achieve lasting health and wellness.

When we simply can’t endure the  deficiency  any longer, we go right back to eating the way we were eating, only to feel we have somehow flunked because of a lack of willpower or compliance. These emotions often encourage self-soothing behaviors and, if we typically use food as our drug of choice, we’re looking at an ongoing cycle of mental, physical and emotional upset that could largely be avoided by changing the choices we make and the way we look at food.

Not only does this pattern chip away at our confidence and self-esteem, it keeps us on a roller coaster ride (blood sugar, mood and weight fluctuations). It impacts our digestive health, our adrenal glands, fertility, our skin, hair, immune system, sleep, our ability to heal and so much more.

Now, before you get frustrated with yourself and think that your current eating behavior is simply the result of laziness or bad habits, do not beat yourself up. For many, this eating pattern causes intense cravings, so your desire for these high sugar, empty food feels almost drug like. The sense of temporary numbing and calm you feel after overloading yourself with these foods floods your body with hormones and chemicals, which offer temporary relief-similar to a drug like state. Unfortunately, eating this way only further depletes and desensitizes your body; making it more and more difficult to achieve a healthy hormonal balance, taste sensitivity and sense of freedom as well as preventing your body from achieving a natural, healthy weight.

Can this be changed so you feel a sense of peace and calm around food? Can food be used to nourish your body and mind without fear? Can you change eating behaviors that have left you overweight, undernourished and frustrated for years, even decades? Of course! It starts with awareness and then a plan.

 As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients.  We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal.  We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals.  One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day.  Americants are overfed, and undernourished.

The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition they need to survive and be healthy.  We are starving our bodies and we are sick.  We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on,

THERE IS GOOD NEWS
Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability of keeping itself healthy.  If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself.  To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take a high-quality supplements.
