When your body is getting what it needs it will not try to store or divert food or fluid into fat cells. My experience has been that when I give my body all the things I have listed above I can relax and let my body do its work.

I fumbled for years until I found a patterns twhich have worked for my body. The regimes I have described on these pages, I have found to be easy and enjoyable – and therefore sustainable. Each one of us is a little different and you, like me, will find that fumbling and adapting are a necessary part of the journey.

Skeptics have asked me what the point is of worrying about all this stuff when any one of us could die tomorrow of an accident, or when they have known the unhealthiest of people survive into old age? We all have encouraging friends like that, don’t we?! My answer is that I want to enjoy life while I am alive and for me that enjoyment includes and depends on being as healthy as I know how to be.

I could not put a price on the improvements in my health and happiness which have flowed from the journey of change and adaptation I have unpacked on these pages. Those improvements are  the reason I share my own learning with you. I wish you and yours Health and Peace!
