Eat Consciously

Part of the journey to radiant health and well-being is getting to know ourselves and how to manage our bodies. Recognizing patterns and habits is the first step to freedom. It is worthwhile to consider cravings, desires, longings, obsessions and vices long before falling prey to old habits or unconscious behavior. Emotional turbulence and dependency on food are common aliments in this overfed, undernourished society. Many times we are so busy, that we do not take the time to sit down and enjoy the food we eat or the company around the table. Yet, eating is a time of rejuvenation for the body and a time to let go of stress. Chew your food until liquified or at least 30 times before swallowing, as you do, your food becomes predigested in the mouth by the enzyme ptyalin found in your saliva. As a result, the stomach does not have to work as hard and absorption of important vitamins and nutrients occur more readily.  “Eat when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied, not when you are stuffed! Eating mindfully will teach you the difference.”
