Our craving for ‘good’ food is so overpowering that, we consciously ignore the consequences of the kind of food that we eat, until it reaches a point where it is just too late. By the time we reach the age of forty, we find out that we are diagnosed with diabetes, cholesterol, triglycerides, high blood pressure and cardio vascular diseases. Are we able to bring about some degree of self-control to stop this craving?

Which essentially means that we ‘know’ that what we are doing is worsening our condition, but, it is beyond our control to take some concrete action. The taste buds on our tongue crave for junk food, chocolates, sweets, lamb, beef, chicken, sausages, bacon, ham, fried foodstuff, coffee, tea, Chinese food, street-side food, alcohol, the list is endless.

Each and every one of these processed, packaged and refined delicacies has some chemical or the other as a preservative, food additive or food color.

What is unknown to us is the reaction that takes place in our intestines when these chemicals enter into our blood stream.

The Brain constantly monitors in real time, every substance, virus or bacteria that enters into our respiratory, digestive and circulatory system.

When it detects any unknown substance in our blood stream it sends antibodies to fight and eliminate the threat. This creates a double-whammy situation – the antibodies attack the cells, which causes damage to the cellular structure and at the same time the substances that cannot get assimilated into the system, enters the cells to cause further damage.

The root cause is the craving which we cannot control. There are chemicals in our brain which nudges us into craving for a particular kind of food. This has more to do with the pleasure and instant gratification we crave for that has to be taken care of instantly. It’s the “I want’ and “I want it right now” message that goads us into instant action. We act on this desire with a “Your Wish Is My Command” reaction.

You can call it your “Ego” that is the “Voice” that nudges you to act on the craving as what you seek is pleasure from the act of having that particular food. The “Voice” that nudges you into action cares a fig for the destruction is caused to the body and mind. You end up as a “Slave” to gratify the “Ego”.

Switching to a whole Food Plant-based diet combined with Intermittent Fasting is one way to correct the imbalances within our various physiological systems. This has a direct impact on our physical health. But, this shouldn’t be our only goal.

We need to leverage the benefit gained to improve our overall mental, emotional and spiritual health. Just as we heal our physical health by correcting our diet so too, do we need to identify the reasons for our imbalances in our mental, emotional and spiritual health and find ways to correct these imbalances. This in essence is called “Holistic Healing”.

The moment you summon the strength to dominate over the “Voice of the Ego” the craving ceases and along with that a lot of other negative influences in your life too goes out of your system. Our end goal is to bring about a 360° change in your life that not only improves your Health and Fitness, but, also brings about harmony within yourself and with all those with whom you connect with – colleagues, your boss, friends, siblings, parents, spouse, partner, children, business associates, customers.
