So what is Body Wisdom’ all about ?

This is a guide for anyone wishing to convert their diet to a healthier alternative than perhaps the one they have had in the past.  It is for anyone wishing to gain information on how to live a health, disease-free life, Information which is right for them in order to travel through life, with a healthy immune system, feeling great and avoiding ‘medication highway’. It is not a site to tell you exactly what to do, but rather, give you some pointers on where to go to get information that is right for you.

Like everyone, you have come across a barrage of information and your only recourse is to listen to the ‘experts’ and hope they are right, which they can’t be of course, if they are all saying something different.

So who do you listen to?

 I suggest that you do some research of your own in order to come up with some answers that are right for you.  Become more proactive and take responsibility for your health.  In fact, your health is really only up to you and no-body else.  Not the Medical Industry, Not the Food Industry, Not the Diet Industry, Not the Health Care Industry, Not the Vitamin Industry, Not the many authors of books and not even this web site.

So where do you begin?

 The first question to ask yourself is “Who has a vested interest in this advice given?’ and look at some facts. “Isn’t it glaringly obvious when millions of people die each year from nutritional deficiency diseases, auto immune problems and toxins, that we have got it all wrong? 

If you want to live a long and happy, disease free life, Who can tell you how?  Answer! someone who is doing just that.  There are many cultures in the world today who don’t suffer from disease and live healthy happy lives.  Look at what they eat and avoid eating and other concepts they incorporate into their lives and do the same. 

You don’t even have to go to these communities yourself because many people have done just that and documented these studies.

Why do we need to read about and be conscious about what foods do for us?

Because if we don’t have this understanding, we find little reason to take the time and make the effort and as is sometimes the case, pay the bit extra required to change your diet. 

According to John and Jill Engelmann in their book ‘Healthy, Slim people eat fat’

“To provide you with the understanding we believe is necessary for self-management of your health we need to go back to the time when Pasteur mistakenly led the public into believing that one caught a disease.  Pasteur’s misinterpretation of the true source of disease provided the embryonic pharmaceutical industry with the opportunity to exploit this information.  Pasteur’s deathbed recognition that the source of disease was a function of our internal environment (digestive system) goes unrecognized by the drug companies and many members of the medical industry today”

 So consider this, feeling great, well and energetic and unhasseled always, is well worth the time and bother to follow some good sound nutrition advice.  A reward enough in itself apart from the incidental fact that you will be taking care of your body for the later years. 

Take on what you can and are willing to do a bit at a time and if you are a bit confused, start with looking .
