Know Thyself
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." ~Aristotle Many times people ask me how to eat right. For some reason, they think I have all the answers and the key to unlock the all mysteries of good health and wellness. As much as I'd like to be omniscient on all things good and healthy, telling someone how to eat is like telling a pig to fly, it's pointless! Why is it pointless? Well, because every single body and every single stomach and every single dietary need for every single person is extremely different. It took me a very long time to figure out my own complex digestive system. So many years of trial and error and pain and suffering, but I've finally reached a place where I feel I have a decent grip on what works best for me and my body. This did not come easy and it may sound selfish, but the way of life that others choose to live is their business. Sure I can offer my experiences and knowledge that I've gained through my own process, but on a whole, I'm really just doing what I know works for me. So I can't tell anyone what to eat to be at their healthiest because I don't actually know what their body needs to be healthy. But I can offer this universal piece of advice. Know thyself. That is the FIRST step in becoming healthier. I know my body appreciates a big wonderful breakfast every single morning. Pumpkin Oats with Blackberries, Mighty Maple PB, Pumpkin Granola I know that leftovers can be some of the best on the go lunches that give me a wide array of nutrition and stability to get me through my long days. I know that most dairy and all meat does not digest through my system with ease, but eggs are both a form of dairy and protein that works beautifully. Especially farm fresh eggs, literary right from my friend's farm. I know that I probably eat way too many veggies to comfortably digest; however, I choose to ignore this because my love for them is far too great than any bloated tummy. So the moral in this all is to pay attention. Pay attention to your body's needs and take notice to the things that don't work. It's going to take a long time and every day is a learning process, but it will pay off in a long life of health and wellness. ![]() related searches : Know
