Your Body Knows~ Honor it!

What does your body know? Who can doubt what a miracle the human body is! Outward manifestations of healing show us that the body knows precisely how to heal itself.
When you cut your finger, you know that the skin will knit back together perfectly. If you get a splinter in your hand, your immune system will rally it's forces, organize and attack and surround the offender to rid the body of a foreign object. Those are ways the body heals itself you can see! What about those problems deep within the body we can't see? Because you can't see the healing process there, doesn't mean it isn't happening. Your body is constantly - 24 hours a day, striving to achieve order and balance. The body knows what it's doing! It's up to us to support the body in it's quest.

Your body knows what is needs in it's drive toward health and order. It needs you -- the conscious part of you, to learn the things you can do to have a higher level of health. If your conscious drive for wellness was as consistent as your body's innate drive for wellness -- you would probably be in perfect health. What about genetics you say? Genetics are one of the factors in the tapestry of your health. You can't control your genetics but you can control the other factors.

Your body knows - when you get enough quality rest. Your body is renewing and repairing and regenerating while you sleep! Most people don't realize the healing that takes place during sleep.

Your body knows - when you exercise. You can put on those Nike's and do it! Yes, get off of your couch and out of your house! Go for a walk or even power walk! Just about anyone can do that. Did you know each time you exercise that your body is actually creating T-cells (in thousands). So, exercise strengthens the immune system. And, when in the history of this planet have we needed that more. Also, did you know that when you exercise -- your body creates thousands of enzymes so your digestion can work better. That's why I always eat concentrated whole foods before I do any exercise routine. I know that all those components and enzymes are going to help me use energy efficiently.

Your body knows - when you think thoughts focused on hope - and it knows when your thoughts are full of despair.

Your body knows - the difference between dead food and live food! Your body knows the difference between foods that are whole and those that are isolated. Whole foods have synergy - meaning - all the elements interact together in harmony in a way your body understands, accepts and thrives on. Your body knows the difference between foods that have fungicides, herbacides and pesticides sprayed on them, and foods that are grown in a pure, healthful environment. Your body knows the difference in a carrot and fruit loops. Your body will thrive on the carrot and attempt to function in spite of the fruit loops. It's true, you can exist on foods from Taco Bell and Burger King. It's easy to make a meal with Hamburger Helper. But, like me, you want better for yourself. Right?? That leads us into what else your body knows!

Your body knows - accepts and thrives on Whole Foods in conjunction with consistent movement activities (Exercise). When you eat whole foods and exercise on a consistent basis..........your whole body says, thank you!!
