Well, as has happened an awful lot this year, DailyOM (they publish daily short topical messages to help you live an inspired life) has been coming up with things that just match where I am at.

Today’s offering is “Eat Right to Feel Better” and is a timely reminder to listen to my body.

My body tries to tell me things all the time, but often I don’t want to listen as the temporary satisfaction I receive from consuming, say chocolate, dampens down what my body is trying to tell me.

For example, recently when I’ve been eating food too high in carbs / sugar I have been getting heart burn.  Did that stop me?  NOPE!

But if I had stopped and listened to my body I would have been well aware that consuming that particular type of food caused my body to revolt.  Then, I would have pieced together how tired and lethargic I felt as well.  Obviously, it is not something that my body likes at this time.  It’s not that it’s allergic (in terms of an anaphylactic response), but my body was trying to tell me that it didn’t appreciate what I fed it.

So, I’m just going to keep an eye on the messages my body is trying to pass on, whether it’s a physical effect or a mental functioning / clarity one.

Is anyone aware of the responses of their body to certain foods?
