In honor of National Nutrition Month, we are celebrating with 10 days of healthy tips and recipes from our experts.

Health and Wellness Tip #10: What Are You Really Hungry For? If you are eating when you’re not hungry or eating more after feeling full, ask yourself what your body is really asking for.  Whatever that is, find a way to physically give your body that very thing. For example, if you need to express anger, go to a kickboxing class.  If you need to let go, go to trapeze school.  By physically carrying it out, you become more able to emotionally carry it out, and you end up eating in a more balanced, healthy way because you no longer rely on food to resolve your struggle.  This ends up supporting you through your struggle because healthy food = healthy & balanced mind, heart, & gut.
