SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

The Importance of Nutrition To Emotional Health

The journey into achieving overall health, vitality and well-being continues. After going deep into unconscious mind, and focusing on emotional and mental blockages and looking at a number of techniques to help let go of a painful past and move into a successful future, the journey takes a different direction.

Lesson 9 focuses more on the physical and looks at the importance of nutrition to emotional health.The main part of lesson nine is an interview between Julie Spain and Maria Forbes who is a Naturopath. The interview is about the importance of nutrition to emotional health, vitality and well-being. From it you will learn what to eat, what not to eat and exactly why this is all so important for optimum performance and enjoyment of life. It includes topics such as:

· What people should and should not be eating for optimum emotional, physical and mental health

· The effects of sugar and processed foods on the body and mind

· The most important things you need to know about weight loss

· Exactly what is happening to the body biochemically to enable us to understand the reasons why we need to do certain things.

We are a system with 5 parts – emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual and social. Balance is extremely important in our lives. A law of physics states that a change in one part of the system will affect and cause a change in all parts of the system. In light of this systems theory as it applies to human behaviour, it makes sense that if we do not eat right then it will affect all 5 parts of our system.

Also in Lesson nine Julie Spain outlines how poor nutrition can affect us:

· Decline in clarity and sharpness of mind

· Feel more emotional and out of control

· May experience feeling down or depressed

· Grumpy or irritable

· Lack energy and vitality

· May put on weight

· Difficulty sleeping

· May not want to socialize.

From this lesson I learned that a positive attitude, proper nutrition including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, rest, relaxation and exercise make a major contribution not only to our physical well-being but also to our spiritual and emotional wellness.
