Remember when you were a child and you got so wrapped up in playing,
\nimagining or creating that you didn\u2019t want to stop when it was time to
\neat? Do you remember leaving your meal half-finished to run off and
\ncontinue playing? <\/p>\n

Children innately understand that food is secondary to
\n what is most nutritious and primary in life: fun and play.<\/p>\n

As adults we seem to have lost our instinct to prioritize play. In
\nour busy world, with its emphasis on work and responsibility, to be
\nhealthy and balanced we must work on more than just our bodies; we must
\nfeed our hearts, minds and spirits. In return, we can also reduce
\ncravings!<\/p>

How to Reduce Cravings While Having Fun<\/strong><\/h5>

Have you noticed that when your body, mind, and spirit are engaged in a creative project or happy relationship, your reliance on food seems to decrease? Likewise, when you are unsatisfied with your relationships, job, or other areas of your life, you may depend on food to cheer, soothe, or numb you.<\/p>

When your life is out of balance, no amount of food can feed you where you truly need nourishment. The food we eat is very important for health and balance, but what really feeds us\u2014a full and fulfilling life\u2014doesn\u2019t come on a plate.<\/p>

What is Fun for You?<\/h3>
