In modern society food is readily available from supermarkets practically 24 hours a day and unlike our ancestors most of us have access to food on demand.  Much of todays ‘grab’ food is made with one type of sugar or another to lure us into eating it and often we are fooled into believing it is healthy.

We are fully aware of what we should and should not be eating In order to maintain optimum health but with todays busy life styles it has become ‘the norm’ to buy processed ready made meals and snack bars.

Our urge to seek out sugary foods is inbuilt from pre-historic times when food was eaten to survive.  Berries and fruits were gathered and regarded as a premium food source for high energy and laying down fat stores. These days sugar and other similar refined sweeteners are so readily available and humans are consuming far too much with severe consequences to our health.   Too much of the white stuff can lead to heart disease, cause memory problems, compromise kidney function leading to type 2 diabetes cause cirrhosis of the liver which is fat build up around the liver, sexual dis function as well as obesity which has become an epidemic. Lets not forget emotional eating which is another whole subject and dealt with very effectively with EMDR and hypnotherapy.

High levels of glucose in our blood streams causes stress on the heart and fructose (artificially sweetened food) lowers the levels of ‘good’ cholesterol causing increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

The overload of sugar in our systems pus a strain on our kidneys which could in turn lead to kidney failure. Too much of this highly addictive food could turn off the gene that regulates the level of testosterone and estrogen which are the two key hormones needed for sexual function. Obesity is linked to many diseases such as cancer osteoarthritis gout high blood pressure diabetes and of course heart disease and stroke.

So this food once so vital for survival has turned on us in modern times to become the enemy! Manufacturers hide it in our food in many forms of guise to make their products more appealing ensuring the consumer purchases their product over others.

How to avoid this pit fall? Eat like they did in the early 1900s.   Cook from scratch using meat/poultry/fish in its original form unchanged by modern processing and eat it with unprocessed vegetables! Hard to do with our modern busy lives but necessary to avoid killing ourselves sweetly.

So you can see the pounds piling on, part of you really wants to take control yet theres always another part of you saying ill start tomorrow.  Perhaps you are saying to yourself well iv got such and such coming up so ill start after that.  You may even join slimming clubs and then kid yourself you are eating the right way.  In reality you are eating some fat free foods then some sins maybe all your sins because you are aloud!  To add to that you ignore portion control or you say to yourself well iv been good so I can have such and such.
You are being  emotionally driven.   Perhaps life is stressful, perhaps you have  anxiety or depression .  Perhaps you never have time for you.  Issues in life arise,  maybe work issues, marriage problems, maybe you feel unsexy with that added bulk...everyone has their own story.  Whatever your issue can help you.  The fact is you are stuck in unhealthy eating habits which is a learnt response of the unconscious mind.
The unconscious is vast and has many roles.  One of them is learning your daily patterns to make it easier for us to function.  We do many things without even thinking about it.  Think of your normal morning routine, when did you ever have to consciously think about cleaning your teeth or getting dressed.  Its the same with food times food types how much you eat etc.  
My role hear is to help those of you who would like change.  Perhaps someone in the family has suffered with  diabetes heart problems or cancer and you would like to make sure you are not next.  Or maybe you are tired at looking at the bigger version of yourself in the mirror.  Whatever you reason  hypnotherapy can help.
Here at  MINDHEALING HYPNOTHERAPY  in Coulsdon I use  EMDR  to address the emotional overload and  HYPNOTHERAPY  to change negative thinking patterns and low confidence issues.
Clients tell me I am easy talk to and they love reading about some of my previous successes on my  google maps reviews .  If this is you and you would like change please get in touch.   www.mindhealing hypnotherapy.com
