Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues from "summary" of Healing Kitchen by Alaena Haber
Our bodies have a remarkable way of communicating with us, if only we would take the time to listen. Hunger and fullness cues are some of the most important signals that our bodies send us, yet they are often drowned out by external distractions or ignored altogether. When we listen to our body's hunger cues, we are tuning in to its natural rhythms and needs. Our bodies are intelligent and know exactly what they need to function optimally. By paying attention to feelings of hunger, we can nourish ourselves in a way that supports our overall health and well-being. Similarly, our body's fullness cues are equally important. Knowing when to stop eating is just as crucial as knowing when to start. By being mindful of our fullness levels, we can prevent overeating and promote better digestion. Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to ignore these cues. We may eat out of habit, emotion, or social pressure, rather than true physical hunger. This can lead to a disconnect between our bodies and our minds, resulting in poor eating habits and potential health issues. To reestablish a connection with our bodies, we must learn to trust and respect the signals they send us. This means eating when we are hungry and stopping when we are satisfied, regardless of external influences. It means slowing down and savoring each bite, allowing ourselves to truly experience the nourishment we are providing. By listening to our body's hunger and fullness cues, we can cultivate a more intuitive approach to eating. We can foster a deeper understanding of our own needs and preferences, leading to a healthier relationship with food and ourselves. So, the next time you sit down to eat, remember to tune in to what your body is telling you. Your health and well-being depend on it.
