This really hits home for me. In my holistic health program, we just talked about this in class last night. I have such a weird relationship with food and for many, we don't realize we do. we figure that's bad because it has this much fat, carbs, calories and this food is better b/c of A, B and C. If we really be present with what we're putting into our body's when we need nourishment, perhaps we can understand ourselves and our bodies more....
Be Present, Three Meals a Day
We've all heard that "we are what we eat." A more specific way to translate that axiom is to say that what we eat, to a great extent, determines our health. More complex is the idea that how we eat affects our health. When we appreciate and are conscious of our food, we derive incredible benefits from eating, in part because such awareness makes it difficult for us to eat food that is bad for us.
Discover food anew every time you eat. What you will find is that every apple, slice of toast, or meal in your favorite restaurant has its own unique, subtle qualities that often slip by, unnoticed, when you eat habitually or in a distracted state of mind.
If you can bring yourself back to the present moment for just an instant and pause to see how your food aligns with you deep in your core, you'll find you have an unfailing tool for knowing what is truly healthy and satisfying for you.
