Let me bring some light to this area, which has become way to complicated. Let me give you some groundrules to make your life simpler:
1) Mind over body
Your thoughts (conscious and unconscious), your convictions, your ideas, the way you see the world will make you healthy or unhealthy, with far more effect than what you take in as food. If you repeat the thought that you are less worthy than others or for instance the thought that you are not able in life or that other people are the source of your annoyance and you repeat it day in day out, don’t you think that the energy that you take in as ‘energy food’ will have way more effect than your physical food? Think about that.
And what if you are able to surround your foods and drinks with positive thoughts and thoughts of gratitude (thank you for the fact that I can eat what Earth gives me) love (I love this food, the taste is so full and enjoyable) or strength (this food will give me new energy and power) about what you take in? Don’t you think that you can eat and drink that which you prefer with far less negative influence than when you think negative thoughts? Like you shouldn’t eat/drink them, because you will get fat or it is bad for you or what will others think of you or maybe now I am damaging my body?
2) Everyone is unique
There is not one person the same on this earth. This also counts for what you need and is nutritious, what is neutral or what you better avoid on a daily basis. And the last words are very important: if you take in something on a daily basis, it has a significant effect. If you take something in once a week or once in a while it has far less effect than every day. And all this means that you need to figure out for yourself how your body, mind and emotions react to what you take in (food, drinks, supplements, medication, herbs, anything). If you have doubts about some sort of food, leave it out for at least a couple of weeks and see what it does to you. Skip sugar rigorously for example or skip wheats (which might be a challenge, because sugar and wheats are in at least 80% of the products in the supermarket). Check literally every product in the supermarket on sugars/wheat, leave it out and see what happens. You will be amazed what the effects can be, when you skip one kind of product that you take in daily. After that couple of weeks you know enough to make your choice. When you absolutely love a product that doesn’t give you energy or your body has difficulty processing, eat it once a week and enjoy it like crazy. If you don’t feel a difference, just eat it whenever you like. When you crave it and feel energized by it: eat it daily.
Sometimes it is great to add a product for some time like a fruit you really love or a veggie or a goody like nuts and pure chocolates. And take the time to enjoy it fully! You will love it so much that you can remember such a moment for the rest of your life. Like I still can remember with a smile in my heart getting the first strawberries of the year and eat the whole box on my way home, I walked slow taking in the air of spring and feeling full of joy. It will increase your sensitivity.
What you will notice when you are on your journey in determining what foods you need and which you love, your body will give you signs as well (be consciously sensitive). If you are a bit familiar to meridians, you might find it a revelation that the stomach meridians flows around your eyes, your nose and your mouth. So you are actually doing the groceries with your stomach! If you see some foods that are so attractive that you must buy them, maybe your body simply needs them. But beware: this only works when you are sensitive enough and not addicted to sugar. Else your eyes will help your addiction, not your health.
Not only are you as a person unique, your body moves through phases and in some phases you need more of something you first didn’t even think of. It is a life’s journey to discover and enjoy what your body craves, enjoys, loves or has difficulty processing. Enjoy the ride!
3) Relax, your are stronger than you think
Don’t you think that when a human body can survive horrible poisons like chemotherapy, suffer extreme circumstances like starvation, anorexia, living in heavily polluted areas that your body can not handle some minor toxic foods? Don’t worry too much (see the first point) you will survive your food. And when you are already a bit conscious of your food/drink intake and you have a love for your body and you have a wish to support it as well as you can, than you are very well on your way!
4) You can energy test it
If you are so scrambled by the media and you simply feel that it is impossible to feel and discover what you need at the moment, you can always energy test your choice of foods. It is the way of the energy kinesiologist. And you can always learn from one to help yourself. An energy test is testing the resistance of a muscle connected to the energy flow of a specific meridian or energy flow. When your muscle is not able to give the normal resistance, you know something is out of balance. With food testing you use the meridian of the stomach and spleen. You hold a food in your hand and test a specific muscle. If it is not responding with strength, it means your food is not strengthening you. A great technique in helping your body to translate what it needs.
Hopefully this article is giving you relieve and simple guidance in loving your body and loving foods and drinks. Not to worry too much, it has more of a negative effect thn the foods you eat.
