It is an instinct to guide us toward food and habit that help us to survive and thrive. For example, we can feel thirsty when our body needs hydration system. Besides, when we are sick, we don’t feel like eating because our body need to conserve the energy that support the recovery process (not too digest any foods).
Unfortunately, human gets disconnected from their food and environment due to modern evolution diet. This makes human insensitive to innate wisdom, thus lead to chronic healthy symptoms, such as mental and emotional health, hormonal imbalance, auto-immune, allergic symptoms, systemic inflammation, and also cardiovascular disorder.
Several things that can confuse our innate wisdom are :
Chemicals
It is found in preservatives, colourant, and synthetic food ingredients. In reality, modern foods may increase hunger level, craving feeling, and turn off normal hormonal cues.
Processed Food
Poor-nutrient content and high in calories food may increase appetite as the body continue to search sufficient nutrients.
Nutrient-Loss in Soils
It may happen due to modern farming procedure. This will result in less nutrient content even from most whole foods.
Access to Real Food
We got to admit that access to real food is not available in all places. This leads people to consume refined and packaged food for survival.
Imbalances in the gut Microbiome
It causes craving for food desired by the microbial populations rather than their host.
But, the good news is : it is possible to reconnect to our innate wisdom and finding the diet that is just right to our bio-individual needs. This will bring back balance to the body system and reducing symptoms shown in the body.
Here are some signs that you meals match the “just right” needs to your body :
- Feel satisfied but not overstuffed
- Balance energy that last until your next meals (it is 4-5 hours after your last meal)
- No craving for sweet or salty foods after meals
- Mentally and emotionally balanced
- No digestive discomfort, such as bloating, burping, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and cramps) during and following the meal.
By getting back to the nutrient-dense, whole-food diet, we can reclaim back our healthy body and balance back the systems in our body.
