Sounds like your body is telling you "ENOUGH"
I dont know what type of food you eat but feeling run down and sick generaly results from eating junk foods, geneticaly modified and chemical infused foods, also the water we drink could be bad too.
I'm a student and I had problems focussing and had headaches... after reading into health I changed the way I ate and suddenly had a bright face, energy and was happy and positive.
This is what I elimintaed from going into my body, after all we have to think about the future consequences not just the 'now' feeling.
- So no more sugar or salt as they create addictions
- No more red meat (personaly I hate the taste and it makes me feel sick in my stomach)
- No more packaged food off the shleves (ful of chemical preservatives and its not fresh as it sits on the shop shelves for weeks and not including sitting in warehouses, I mean when we have home cooked food we usualy dont eat it the next day so pakaged food is even worse)
- Definately no more coffee (people brainwash themselves into thinking they need it to stay awake but they simply dont, I sometimes sit up at night till 5am doing homework but all without coffee just exercise and water
)
- Dried fruits (full of sugar and not fresh)
- Baked sweets (flour and wateer turns to thick glue so what about our poor intestinse trying to digest that?!)
- Fastfood -> This I stopped eating about 5 years ago. Fast foods like McDonalds etc (the food is never fresh and more made in labs than grown outside , read 'Fast Food Nation' ISBN 13 978 0 06 083858 4 to know where Im coming from, Also the fast food corporations pay researchers big money to find out how to make the customer not satisfied and come back to buy more. For our bodies to feel full we need a certain number of nutrients and when their not there we feel hungry even though our stomachs are packed.)
So what I ate more of was
- fresh vegetables (great to eat when craving food in between meals)
- Fruit (source of energy and a substitute for sugary sweets)
- Grains (rice of all colours except for devilish not nutritious white rice)
- Breads (other than white again, full of nuts, seeds, vegetables and grains)
- Dairy foods (like milk, cheese, yoghurt, also goats milk is great)
So thats basically it, the bottom line is try to eat food as nature intends it to be
Not Processed
Not Modified
Not over cooked (looses its nutrient content)
Raw (as in fruit and vegetables and not red meat, some fish is ok thoufgh like in sushi)
A great thread to read is this one, it opened my eyes alot to what is really going on with our food: (Since I cant post link yet, its at parkour . net under the health and fitness category titled 'Diet', I hope I dont get banned from here as its a great article to read and will help us to look after the bodies we have as God wants us to)
Hope this helps
God bless you all
