Do you ever take the time and listen to what your body is telling you – or do you just ignore it and pretend those grumbling digestive sounds don’t belong to you?

Now the reason I ask is because most people don’t listen to what their body is telling them.

As Yuri explains in his book – Eating for Energy - feeling tired or bloated after a meal is not normal. These type of symptoms can actually indicate a myriad of possible digestive issues – including those funny little ‘noises’ that seem to escape every now and then!!

Most people cruise through life eating whatever they want – whenever they want. (And I must admit, this was me for many, many years!) But what makes this so bad, is that most don’t fully understand what they’re doing to their body’s internal environment – and the damage that they’re causing.

So if you keep doing this year after year, you are essentially causing wear and tear on your body and this is definitely NOT GOOD!

And just like Yuri explains in his book Eating for Energy - you really do need to listen to your body because your body will tell you exactly what it needs. (And it’s not a cheeseburger, coke and fries …)

So whenever you’ve got hunger pains – don’t ignore them. It’s your body’s way of telling you that it needs more energy.

And this also applies in reverse – when you’re not hungry. If your tummy is satisfied then don’t keep stuffing it with more. You have to let your body get the chance to digest this food properly otherwise it can lead to tummy aches and even malnutrition, as your cells are unable to absorb vital nutritients from the food.

So despite what your mother or grandmother may have told you in the past – you do not have to finish everything that is on your plate!

If you’re full – you’re full. It’s time to ‘down tools’ and just enjoy feeling satisfied.

To your good health,
