Recently I have been becoming increasingly aware of the reaction of my body to everything I throw at it.
When I eat a low fat, low sugar diet, avoid alcohol and wheat, I feel bright and lively.
When I don't, I don't!
I am bad at change, particularly my diet, especially when it smacks of 'deprivation' but I am finding that the more I eat fresh, non-processed food, the better it tastes and the worse the so-called treats taste (take-away food, cake, biscuits, cheap chocolate etc)
We went out for dinner last night, I had haddock and chips, and when I had finished I felt bloated, sick, heart thumping, nasty stuff. It took a couple of hours (and some peppermint tea!) to restore some sort of equilibrium.
So, maybe I'm finally learning the lesson!

I cannot agree more with your opening quote!! As well I sympathise as I have been bombarded with medicine to which my body has reacted, leaving me feeling worse. Food is the same, it should make you feel nurtured and full of nutrition, but some makes you feel the opposite.
What is it that makes treats so desirable? The sugar? The quickness and availability? Apparently (and it could be an urban myth I don't know) a well known fizzy drink has an ingredient in it which actually makes you thirstier and therefore want more, in diet and fat varieties! How sure are we of what we ingest?
