Body Awareness: 5 Reasons Why Your Body is Mad at You

Originally published here.

In modern times, we are in such a rush and have such a DO! DO! DO! attitude, that we forget our bodies. We ignore them, push them to the limits, and expect them to do what we want them to do without asking them what they need to get the job done.

If you listen, your body is often trying to have a conversation with you, but during a hectic day, it’s easy to keep ignoring its pleas.

Here is an example of my day before I began practicing body awareness.

Alkalizing Superfoods: Watermelon

Watermelon is extremely hydrating, full of anti-inflammatory substances, and is even sometimes referred to as “Nature’s Viagra.” It’s also high in:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin B6
• Potassium
• Vitamin A
• Magnesium

But watermelon is most famously known for it’s rich lycopene content, which is even higher than tomatoes.

Alkalizing Superfoods: Asparagus

Asparagus is not only alkaline; it tastes delicious, looks pretty on a plate, and is loaded with fibre and nutrients.

Check out all of the disease-busting benefits on the British Asparagus website.

Alkalizing Superfoods: Broccoli

Broccoli is a serious superfood. It’s loaded with cancer-fighting, detoxifying, and cholesterol-lowering chemicals. To take full advantage of the healing powers of broccoli, eat it raw or lightly steamed.

The Ocean Within Your Body

At a certain stage of development, a human embryo can hardly be differentiated from that of a dolphin. Humans beings begin with a small tail and also feature folded neck structures, which in fish turn to gills, but in humans develop into jaws.

It is no wonder why people feel drawn to the shores. According to this article in Discovery News, Casey Bergman from the University of Manchester says that, “We are just very highly evolved fish!”

That is why the rate at which the oceans are becoming acidic is alarming. National Geographic states that the oceans absorb about a third of human-created carbon dioxide emissions. Over the past 300 million years, ocean pH has been slightly alkaline, but that is changing rapidly. Ocean acidification is putting ecosystems at great risk.

The human body is likewise in danger when too much carbon dioxide and acidic waste builds up in the blood. The acidosis puts the organ systems at great risk.

“About 70 percent of the human body is made up of water and, coincidentally, more than 70 percent of Earth is covered in water,” this NASA fact sheet states.

Whether it is the oceans of the world, or the oceans within your body, water is the matrix of life and maintaining pH balance is crucial for survival.
