It has been written “If you want to know anything about the quality of an individual, all you have to do is open his refrigerator and take a peek inside.”
Is it truly that simple? I think not, as we are complex creatures with a will of our own. And we get to choose how we nourish our body, mind and spirit.
The question is – are you nourishing anger, irritability and fear or are you nourishing sensibility and love?
While it is true, according to Steve Gagne, author of Energetics of Food, it doesn’t matter what comes first, thinking or food, as you will decide what you eat and what you eat will nourish and support your thinking. Food affects the quality of your blood, which in turn affects your nervous system, which affects the brain – the organ that manifests thinking and records your reality. On the other hand, your thinking leads you to choose the food you eat, which in turn will affect your blood and nervous system.
Both thinking and eating are means of expressing, manifesting and nourishing what you are.
In a sense, it is not important for you to decide what to eat, nor what to think. But it is important to decide and know what you are, and what you want to be. Your eating and thinking both determine each other, and both are determined by what you are – if your own self-motivated identity is a stronger system than your thoughts and your food.
