I’ve been thinking about how food feels to me. – 

How we feel after eating something is a good thing to pay attention to. Please readers, this is really important. Digestion and the health of our gut affects, well, everything. Brain function, nerve health, our immune system and so much more.

I’ve always advocated for a well-rounded, balanced diet. In addition, we have to pay attention to how we feel and be proactive in making adjustments. Consuming probiotic, fermented foods populate the gut with good bacteria. Good quality, organic raw foods provide us with beneficial enzymes. Avoiding or reducing sugar and starch intake gives the bad bacteria less to feed on. Avoiding late night eating insures that all the good stuff we consume is properly digested and assimilated.

Know more, feel good and – Think good thoughts!
