Cleaning up our diets helps our bodies to function optimally but it doesn’t have to be complicated or confusing! Nor does it mean that we have to cut out an entire food group, eat Brussel sprouts when we hate them, or deny ourselves foods that we love.

As you’re reading this, chemical reactions are happening throughout your body to achieve balance across so many areas. Here are a few examples:

• Our immune systems are protecting us from viruses and bacteria on every surface and around every corner. • Food we’ve eaten is broken down and vital nutrients are delivered to just where they’re needed. • Your pancreas has pumped out just the right amount of insulin to balance and maintain blood sugar levels. • The liver is working to get toxins out; all the caffeine, sugar, food additives, pesticides on vegetables and hormones and antibiotics from animal protein that we ingest on a daily basis.

…all without you needing to even think about it. How amazing is that!

The food that we put on our plates is one of the most proactive forms of health insurance we can buy but it’s often not until we get sick or injured that we appreciate our bodies and make the connection between the food that we eat and our health.

One process that has a huge affect on our health is our rate of metabolism. This is the rate at which our bodies break down nutrients in our food to produce energy. If we have a ‘slow’ metabolism we utilise calories more slowly and so it becomes hard to lose weight for instance. At the same time energy levels fall and we can’t understand why our mood is a little flat and we have an inability to concentrate …and the end result is a horrible, vicious cycle.

Improving metabolism helps to rebalance bio chemical processes that naturally occur in our bodies while minimising any metabolic disruptors that can lead to symptoms and conditions like:

• Food allergies and intolerances that lead to innumerable consequences including bloating and headaches. • Energy/fatigue issues • Imbalance in blood sugar levels that can cause mood swings, cravings and potentially lead to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity • Hormonal imbalances such as PMS • Poor brain function, including poor concentration, anxiety and depression • Poor immune function eg, frequent colds and degenerative diseasesWhen we eat foods that serve us, the body returns to balance naturally.

It’s not something we have to work hard at either, rather when we eat healthy foods that nourish us, our bodies crave more of them. This naturally crowds out cravings for sugar, refined carbs or alcohol for instance.

Did you know that…

• We need to rid our systems of toxins before we can lose fat because if the body isn’t able to limit damage by flushing toxins out, it will revert to storing them in fat …and this makes it harder to shift fat.

• The liver plays a vital role in getting toxins out of our systems and if our liver isn’t happy and healthy, then we feel sluggish and ill. This is because when we overload it with pollutants like alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, over the counter medicines, sugar, and trans fats for instance, it becomes exhausted and optimal function diminishes which leads to a slow-down in metabolism.

• The more insulin in the body, the more food is likely to be stored as fat …so low fat diets that contain high levels of sugar, alcohol and foods made with white flour (otherwise known as ‘refined carbohydrates’) require the pancreas to regularly secrete insulin to balance in blood sugar levels leads to weight gain!Tapping into the body’s innate intelligence is something that most of us need to learn how to do, but when we do, it reaps huge benefits…
