Our brain can fool us in many ways. It can destroy our efforts to change our eating habits. Understanding the psychological side of long-term patterns and change helps combat habits. You can change your eating habits for good.
Why would our brains want to keep us in bad health
It's not that your brain wants to keep you unhealthy. It's just doing what it's learned over a long time. Your brain’s most basic instincts are for survival. Food is necessary for life, and it symbolizes security and safety. When you begin to restrict food, place rules on what you can and cannot eat, and mess with food availability, your brain reacts to protect you.
Let your rational brain take over
Stop listening to these irrational, emotional, illogical voices and reasons. Learn to listen to your higher-level brain and to your body’s needs. Disconnect eating from your emotions and your fears. Then you can override the other parts of your mind and learn to heal your relationship with food. You can provide your body with what it needs to stay healthy.
How to reconnect body and mind
Mindfulness retrains your brain to focus more on what you physically need. It'll help you develop healthier habits for lifelong well-being. Learning to listen to your body’s cues about hunger. Finding ways to deal with stress and emotions other than through eating.
Changing your mindset to improve eating habits is far more important than the foods you eat. Once you learn to be more mindful, you'll find your other patterns of thinking and behaving will fall into place and help you develop eating habits that are right for you.
