Learn how to love your fruits and vegetables.
We all hear that we need to eat plenty of vegetables
and use super foods for better health. It is a known fact that
the minerals you need for good health are in your vegetables.
If you do not get enough minerals, your body cannot ward off
disease and begins a downward spiral into bad health.
However, I do see some people who do not eat vegetables, even
fresh vegetables, if they can help it. Maybe you know someone
like this yourself. Maybe it is you!
Let me tell you a story and you can use my imaginary
instructions to him for your self, if you have this same dislike
for vegetables.
I was at someone’s house the other day that
has prostate cancer. Let’s call him Al. As a side point,
It is important to increase fruits and vegetables and vegetable
juice consumption if one has cancer. Plenty of vegetables help
one become alkaline which builds health and gives extra nutrients
that will help the body fight the cancer.
Previously I had suggested some Green Vibrance,
a super food powder, at a half scoop twice a day. I wanted to
start him out slow as I heard complaints during the consultation
about Al not liking vegetables.
So being at Al’s house, I find the man was
taking his super food powder reluctantly. Actually he first stalled
getting his super food drink when his wife said it was time to
take it for about an hour. Then he was complaining the whole
time he made it and drank it. Al said something to the effect
that he was not a cow and did not like cow food.
Actually I did not say much, but tried to joke him through it
a little. In retrospect, I would like to have had the following
conversation:
I hear you Al. You just don’t like those vegetables and
leafy green vegetables I have suggested. They don’t taste
good to you. You would rather have your sweets. You know that
veggies are good for you, but you just can’t seem to get
used to eating them. Let me help you here. Did you know that
….
You think in pictures
Did you know that you think in pictures? You are
motivated by the things that you want to move away from that
might cause emotions you don’t want such as pain, grief,
anger etc. Your cancer is certainly something you want to move
away from.
You are also motivated by the things you want to
move towards. Emotions that would go with this are feeling happy,
satisfied, loved, forgiven, respected, etc.
Move away from or move towards. These two ways
you are motivated are the key to help you get past your dislike
of vegetables.
Decide which type you are. Which are you most motivated
by? Do you put moving away foremost in your mind or moving toward?
Ready to Start? Grab some vegetables. Look at them,
feel them taste them, Chew on them. Snap them, break them up
and hear the crunchiness. Involve as many of your senses as you
can.
While doing that, do one of two things:
If motivated by what you are moving away from:
Paint the picture of what you are leaving behind.
Accentuate the problems. Make them look really big and bad in
your picture. Show your self what the big bad picture would be
like a year from now or 5 years from now if you continued eating
your bad diet. Put a lot of feeling into this.
If motivated by what you are moving towards:
Paint a big bright picture of what you will look
like and feel like when you have better health. Think about who
you love, who loves you and what you want to do and could do
when you have good health.
Al, maybe you are not sure where you fit in to
this process. Then play both pictures for yourself. Really put
some pictures in your head. Use plenty of color. Turn the sound
up.
Now which did you feel more motivated to
eat the fruits and vegetables and the super food you need?
Play this picture over and over again as you eat
the right foods, especially your vegetables and super food powder.
See, that was not so bad. It is all according to
the message you give your self. Certainly your body thanks you
for the better nutrition, and I know you are going to start feeling
better and having more energy as you continue to eat the better
diet.
In my mind, Al gives me a smile. He is beginning
to get the picture. He starts eating more fruits and vegetables.
