Start With Conscious Eating And Lifestyle

By Paul McDonald


People simply eat, without thinking about the food they are eating, filling their stomach with too much food, without chewing it enough, and all these things cause digestion issues, and these lead to more serious health problems. Conscious eating and lifestyle that is in balance with nature can make a great difference. The first steps in this directions are really simple, and you can start applying these simple rules today.

It does matter what you eat and it does matter how you do it. Chewing is something people don't usually do, at least not as much as they suppose to. Without chewing, there is no saliva, and without saliva, there is no proper digestion. Simple as that. You have to be aware of all these mechanisms your body uses in everyday life in order to remain healthy and strong.

Large bites and inadequate chewing are to blame for the majority of digestive problems, and probably a significant percentage of other health problems today. These problems can be easily solved with a few simple changes of your routine. Simply take smaller bites and chew each of them properly before swallowing. This will produce enough saliva for your healthy digestion.

Conscious eating has some other advantages. For example, your food will start to taste better. You will discover a new sweetness of your food, and start enjoying in your meals on entirely different level. When you think about your food, take smaller bites and chew properly, the whole feeding ritual starts to become a part of who you are.

The goal of eating isn't to make you full. The main goal is to provide enough energy for your whole body and for all the things you have to do between meals. You probably don't need so much food, but you do need important substances to get you through the day. If you eat too much, it will only slow you down.

If you appreciate the food you eat, if you serve it nicely and eat consciously, taking time to chew and enjoy in taste, you can make really great life improvements. It is also important to give your digestion a chance to start digesting as it should. Because of that, take a time to rest for a while between your meals, and after dinner, take a nice little walk.

Change your bad habits and this will make a great difference. Maybe you will find it hard to chew so much at first, but it's only in your brain. The fact is that it is good for you, you just didn't make a habit out of it yet. When you do, it will be perfectly natural thing to do. Smaller amounts will be more than enough to keep your body in a fit condition.

Think about your meals, about their quality, and listen to your body when it comes to different types of food. If you feel good after consuming some foods, they are probably good for you. If you don't feel very well after some types, avoid them permanently. Simple rules for simple, but improved life.
