Self Help Recovery Tools
You intuition has been pushed away and left to gather dust because your nutritional knowledge has taken over. When you do decide to trust your own body again it may take time to blow away the cobwebs and get it back into action. If you think about your intuition being millions of years old and not up to date with today’s society. It has got confused over the mass production of food everywhere and has got a bit rusty from being pushed away for so long.
It may be out of touch and mislead you. Therefore a balance has to be found between your nutritional knowledge and your rusty intuition.
Your nutritional knowledge comes from nutritional advice books, articles, websites, magazines, our parents, government guidelines and schooling. We are taught about aspects of nutrition from carbohydrates to fat, to what’s good for us and what’s not.
Along with this advice you are bombarded with information on how to eat a healthy diet, diet plan of the week, latest diet, and the new must try diet. After a while you end up becoming you own expert in food nutrition, following nutritional manuals and incorporate myths and facts with every regimental meal.
After a while Your nutritional knowledge can fog out any intuitional messages your body is sending and people can lose faith in their own body to inform then when they are hungry, what they feel like and when they are full.
It can therefore really help if we become more focused on re-building our intuition knowledge rather than adding further nutritional facts to our over indulged knowledge.
A clever French chemist devised 'the institute of taste in 1979’. One of the current objectives is to help primary school children develop their intuition around food. The children are educated to build up a level of trust with their intuition to keep them healthy.
It may have helped a lot if we were given the same opportunity at a young age to build on our intuition. Instead our society has helped us forget about it.
