Many things affect how easy or hard it is to change behavior, like improving your eating habits and how you take the time to take care of yourself. It’s not just having the knowledge of what to do.
It is unfair to compare your efforts to anyone else’s “success” at making changes.
Strive to do YOUR BEST to eat healthfully and have a healthy and active lifestyle. Nutritional supplements can play a supportive role to help you feel better and achieve a better quality of health.
Each one of us is unique – our life experiences and our needs. Find your own ways of making changes to improve your personal health.
Find the changes that will meet less resistance and will be more productive for maintaining long-term change.
Many Things Affect Your Relationship with Food and Self Care
Why changing your diet is about more than knowledge:
- Individual childhood experiences can affect your relationship to food, eating and your body; we have all developed our own unique relationships.
- Some of us eat when we are hungry, others eat as an emotional outlet or use food (even withholding it) to try to exercise control, rebel, be loved or be “perfect.”
- Your cultural and family relationships affect your beliefs about food, body image, exercise, smoking, drinking, achievement and more.
- We all have our own unique set of genes, predispositions toward disease or good health.
- Everyone has a different body type and a different metabolism.
- We all have different life experiences, stressors, coping skills and support systems.
- Psychology and motivation is a key aspect of attaining and maintaining good health.
So ask yourself, do you have any roadblocks to making changes to better care for yourself with a healthier diet and lifestyle?
