Overeating actual causes stress on your body......

Our digestion actually requires a great deal of cellular energy, overeating stresses the body beyond the natural capacity to breakdown, digest, assimilate, and eliminate. Think of how you feel after a big holiday meal, such as Thanksgiving….we go into a sleepy state . People joke about a “food coma”. We should eat to fuel our bodies, not exhaust us! If we eat just enough to fuel our bodies, we reserve energy for healing and cell regeneration. Don’t misunderstand me, I am not suggesting to ever starve yourself, just eat enough to keep yourself satisfied and full but not stuffed! Don’t forget to stop eating 15 minutes before you actually totally full ( when your tummy feels slight pressure). It takes that long for the brain to get the message that the stomach is full. Eating is one of the great joys of life, let’s take time to actually appreciate the amazing flavors! Lets slow down and enjoy ourselves and the people that we are sharing our meal with :)
