　　Most of us let our eyes decide what our bodies need．Our ideas about what we eat are more important than the food itself, what our stomachs can hold, or what we need in this moment for food, strong energy．Our families, social situations, society, and marketing campaigns dictate the choices most people make about how they feed themselves．Sometimes we’re provided with very useful guidelines and models．But you need to stop and ask：Are you feeding yourself in ways that personally make sense to your body’s unique and ever-changing needs and rhythms．

　　In this country, food is available all the time．Unlike our ancestors who ate in harmony with seasonal cycles of abundance and scarcity(缺乏)，harvest and hunting, we eat as though we’re constantly feasting．Really, we eat non-stop．We fill our stomachs until we’re uncomfortable, and we put more food in the shopping cart than we need．This abundance of food and our own fast-paced convenience culture keep us from recognizing our own personal rhythms．We eat for many reasons, not necessarily because we’re physically hungry or need certain nutrients to keep healthy．

　　With more and more processed foods(精加工的食品)in the marketplace, obesity in adults and children dramatically on the rise, and digestive problems increasingly more common, it’s clear that we’re facing a serious health crisis．The answer, however, isn’t to just put Americans on a diet．Reducing the intake of processed foods and increasing fresh produce and whole grains certainly can improve one’s health．But we need more．We need to feed ourselves with a sense of purpose, focus, self-love, and passion for our lives．
