Is nutritional bankruptcy the reason I so frequently get hungry shortly after I eat?
This is a great question! One that many more people should be asking themselves.
Nutritional bankruptcy is a fact very few people are actually aware of. (For specific details of the condition of the soil most food consumed in North America is grown in, see “Bankrupt Soil”.) Through our federal health departments, we have been conditioned to think that if we consume a certain number of calories every day from varied food groups, that we are eating healthy. What many people fail to realize, primarily because we have not been educated properly, is that it’s the nutrients that is in the food we eat, not the food itself that supports our health.
The average adult body has 70–100 trillion cells. These cells are constantly duplicating and creating new cells, at about the rate of 1 billion per minute. Each new cell, when it is created, requires 90 basic elements to function optimally. These elements consist of minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, oxygen and water.
The body instinctively knows what it needs. What is consciously known is that the body is hungry. What is not consciously known is that the body may be lacking iron or magnesium or selenium or any one of the over 70 various trace minerals. So the brain sends a signal to the consciousness to eat, but because the food in the 21st century is nutritionally bankrupt, the body may end up feeling full, but remains far from nutritionally satisfied. Which is why people frequently get hungry shortly after eating. AND why many people end up over eating and consequently over-weight.
When the body is nutritionally satisfied with nutrient dense foods, over-eating is seldom an issue.
