Feel Good Food
Becca Crawford
I used to think that pain, brain fog, headaches, PMT, frequent colds, acne, constipation, lethargy, depression, stiff muscles, creaky joints and cavities were all NORMAL. But they are not! Well, while they might be considered “normal” in today’s society but they are certainly NOT NATURAL. These symptoms are the canaries in the coal mine whispering or shouting (as the case may be) to us that there is a fundamental mismatch between our biology and our lifestyle choices. It wasn’t until I learnt what exactly our physiology is designed for and tailored my lifestyle choices accordingly, that I (finally) started to function properly and all pain disappeared.
My hard coded genes remain the same, but my epigenetics (the expression of my genes) changed as my lifestyle choices changed. How empowering is that?!? And the real kicker for me was when I discovered this: not only did I start to function properly when I started eating a solid nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods diet, I started to FEEL so good too. Brain fog lifted, malaise and depressive dips vanished, and were replaced with sharp mental focus and clarity, and feel good vibes. Whenever I threw caution to the wind and ate processed foods, the pain surfaced and the feel good vibes vanished.
So. Not. Worth. It.
And THAT is precisely what keeps me propelled on this path. I don’t ever feel forced to stay on path. I’m effortlessly pulled towards it because IT FEELS SO GOOD. And who doesn’t want to feel good all the time?!? Once you experience FEELING GOOD you don’t wanted to feel anything short of that! Right?!?
We are here to live our happiest, brightest, shiniest life. How can we be the best possible version of ourselves when we don’t feel good? If you’re not healthy it’s SO MUCH HARDER to be happier I discovered. Without a solid foundation of robust health, you have nothing and will only be a fraction of who you can truly be. But first you have to believe that you’re worth the investment.
I don’t believe that vibrant health is an end goal in its own right but possessing it enables you to more effortlessly and joyously live the life of your dreams and to share your unique gifts with the world. Like clean fuel, it’s the precondition to get the vehicle out of first gear and firing on all 6 cylinders.
