What makes us hungry in the first place?

Don't we have anything good to eat?

Have you ever wondered why we get cravings?

When you’re hungry….do you know what you’re really hungry for?

Are you hungry for magnesium?  -for L-lysine? -for niacin? -for eicosapentaenoic acid?

See -your body need all sorts of fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, water and nutrients to do its job.  And, when the blood stream is lacking the necessary ingredients for nourishment, the brain releases a flood of hormones to prepare the digestive system for food.  This preparatory period is when we typically say our ‘stomach is growling.’

The hormones initiated in the hypothalamus prime your stomach and your intestines to begin secreting digestive fluids. These digestive fluids are absolutely necessary for proper digestion and nutrient absorption because without them…. whatever food is eaten isn’t properly digested and the body never gets the nutrition it really needs.

This can be we a problem for many of us.

Remember the old saying… ‘Use it or Lose it?’

Because of the lack of fresh, whole foods in the typical western diet -and because of the abundant processed foods that many consume, people have grown deficient in the appropriate digestive fluids…. and that’s a real problem!

Remember…. when the body is lacking nutrients in the blood stream, the brain sends out the ‘hunger signal’ and that rumbling in your tummy begins. You start foraging for food because you think your belly is empty ...Not True!

You don’t need that slice of (whatever you just grabbed)!  You might only be deficient in a few key nutrients….

You don’t need more food!  -You simply need to digest the fresh, whole food you’ve just eaten more efficiently!

Do you see how this can easily spiral out of control?

You think you’re hungry, so you eat what’s close or what’s convenient ….and maybe that’s enough …and maybe it’s not.  Most likely, it’s not. Most likely, whatever you just ate is not what you need -but rather what ‘sounded good’ at the moment.  Soon you will be hungry again -because your body is still lacking the essential nutrients it needs.

If our diets lack what we need ….then we will always feel hungry, dissatisfied, sick, tired, cranky, moody ….and we’ll have cravings for food that isn’t what we need –but food that temporarily makes us ‘feel better.’

Food can do both….

Food can make us happy, healthy, energetic and satisfied…

Or….food can make us ‘feel good’ ….but only temporarily…then we feel guilty, fat, ugly, kind of sick, tired and eventually ….unhappy, unsatisfied and the cycle begins again.

Without the appropriate digestive fluids, the body is not receiving the nutrition it needs to function optimally.
