NUTRITION
Food is frequently seen as that stuff that removes the hunger pangs but rarely as the stuff that is perpetuating the hunger pangs. Yes that is right! if you are feeding yourself inappropriate foods you are going to need to eat more food, eat more frequently or both. Its just obvious! Also If you eat the wrong foods at the wrong times you are going to waste energy and need to eat more!
Most of us are overweight because we are Mal-nourished! Yes you read that right! If we have to keep eating and eating it is likely that our body is just not being fuelled - it may be being filled but not fed - stuffed but not satisfied. This leads to a vicious cycle that perpetuates and worsens the problem, it can be very difficult to get out of this cycle without guidance - we know we're human too!
FOOD IS FUEL.
If you provide your body with the right fuel at the right time you may be surprised at just how much more efficient your body systems will run and how much more work and play can be achieved. Our Thoughts can be clearer, we can find ourselves being more productive, having more stamina and loosing weight without needing to use the dreaded will power to cut down on portion sizes.FOOD BECOMES YOU.
Secondly our body is made from what we have consumed and absorbed. The cells of our body are continually replacing themselves and the more accurately they can make a copy of themselves the more healthy and fit we stay. Supply them with the right foods and you will be made of the right stuff - supply them with poor materials and your cells will have to be made to a lesser quality. Lesser quality means what it does for all things - shorter life span, more easily worn-out as they are just more susceptible to wear and tear.TOXIC WASTE
We are also made of what we fail to discard. Eating questionable types of foods and drinks can lead to a build up of toxins that your body has to use energy to deal with! Why eat foods that are leaving us with less energy than we started with?
WHY HAVE I GOT TO SEE AN OSTEOPATH TO ADDRESS MY DIET?
Frequently we find people who seem to be eating healthy diets but they still struggle to loose weight. Some feel that it’s just not fair how hard they try with their food but still don't see massive improvements. This is frequently because we are not what we eat but rather what we absorb. Your body needs to be working properly to digest and utilise your food properly - this is not such a weird idea - you wouldn't pour rocket fuel into an old car and expect it to become a racing car! We all know the car itself needs calibrating to deal withthe right fuel, this is just one of the reasons people struggle to loose weight and feel great. Your osteopath will treat your body with a view to making it as efficient as possible and will guide you throughout the process of nourishing yourself effectively.Optimal healing, optimal recovery and optimal health all entail understanding not just what our body runs on but also how and when to deliver it.
