💭 How we are taught to disconnect with our bodies since our childhood. Human body is an extremely intelligent organism: it was evolving for billions of years to become the way it is now. It developed all the necessary survival mechanisms that help us recognize the danger and to respond accordingly. For example if you being followed by a stranger in a dark alley your body produces adrenaline. It increases the heart rate, causes blood vessel constriction diverting all the blood from periphery to vital organs- you are ready to flee off from threat. There’re many different survival mechanisms but in this post I want to focus on one: eating! Without being able to properly choose food our race would not survive. And as you guys know I’m launching my Weight loss& ED recovery online course on Monday (29th), so I studied this subject for a while. We were designed to recognize what we can eat by using our senses like any living creature on Earth. If it tastes and smells good, the texture is soft enough to chew- it’s food; if it doesn’t taste good or if it’s smell doesn’t make our mouth watery- it’s a poison. And then when you’re full your body sends you signals to stop eating. And the answer to “why obesity became top health problem in most developed countries” is- we unlearned how to listen to our bodies. Since our childhood we are taught to “finish the plate”, we’re punished if we don’t want to eat, we forced to eat things we don’t feel like eating. Because our parents were told by doctors that “to grow big they need to eat meat” or “don’t give your kids fruits, too much sugar” etc. This are just examples but you know exactly what I mean. When we’re born our body is perfectly able to recognize when, what exactly and in which amount we should eat. But with time we learn to ignore our body signals like they never existed and that leads to eating disorders, obesity and all the health problems following it. I’ll be telling exactly how to learn to listen to your body again in my Online course that is coming out on Monday 💚 Stay tuned! #weightlossmotivation #edrecovery #intuitiveeating #weightlosstips #fashionmodel #fashionshoot #modeling
