Body never lies. Like or dislike that’s the truth. It”s about the time that we need to start listening to our bodies because the body talks to us in so many different ways. When we feel old what does that really mean? Literally it means that we don’t have energy, kind of sleepy and tired, can’t concentrate, can’t exercise, may be can’t even eat what we would like eat because of digestion issues and likewise. Who likes to feel that way? We don’t but our body does. So when the body is conveying this message to us, we need to pay some attention to it and start thinking what we are doing (not the body) that is making our body feeling this way.

There are a couple of things first of all that we need to start thinking about, and those are (a) what are we putting into this body (nutrition) and (b) what is getting out of this body (elimination). Generally speaking, answers to these two basic questions leads
to an answer that we may be looking for. Also, are we getting more out of this body than we are putting in? May sound like philosophical questions but in reality taking the time to think about this may give us the clue to start walking in the direction of our choice. When body is drained of nutrients and cannot perform the basic required functions, it starts to slow down in its great wisdom to protect itself. At the same
time it also gives us the message - hey, get up and do something about me - I am not doing so well, At this time its up to us to start finding the help to make us feel better.

The first and foremost step is to concentrate on nutrition and elimination as mentioned above. However, out of these two steps, the better order of action is just the reverse i.e. looking into elimination first rather than giving good nutrition first. You may not go wrong either way but the question you need to answer is using a simple analogy – would you like to put beautiful piece of furniture in a room full of filth and dirt. The furniture does not look pretty and loses its value and the room still is stinky and bad, and cannot look any better even by the addition of valuable new furniture. You may not still want to walk into the room. So better choice is to make the cleaning a first priority and then adding any thing to it will bring value to it. There is no hard and fast rule to it and depending on the need, the choice can be made but if you had the time to pick out of the two, this guideline can be followed. So, first start on a cleansing regimen and most probably everything else will start falling in place if done wisely, methodically and patiently. This may be your first step towards addressing many important issues that your body is leading you to.
