Love Food That Loves You Back: Breaking Free from the Toxicity of Alcohol
Humans are creatures of pleasure, and some pleasures are more accessible to indulge in than others. For many, alcohol is one of those easy indulgences. It’s a socially accepted and encouraged way to relax, celebrate, and cope with stress. Unfortunately, this easy pleasure can become a toxic relationship that robs us of our energy, clarity, memory, vitality, and creativity.
If you’ve ever experienced a hangover, you know the feeling of betrayal when your body and brain scream for mercy after a night of heavy drinking. You may dread the following day, knowing it will be filled with regret, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. It’s like being in an abusive relationship with your body and mind.
But there’s another way, love food that loves you back. It’s a way to break free from the toxicity of alcohol and nourish your body and mind with the nutrients they need to function at their best.
So, what is love food that loves you back? It’s simple food that nourishes your body and mind instead of depleting them. Instead of taking them away, food gives you energy, clarity, memory, vitality, and creativity.
Love food that loves you back can be as simple as a green smoothie, a colorful salad, a bowl of quinoa, a plate of grilled salmon, or a piece of dark chocolate. It’s food rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and low in empty calories, such as sugar, refined carbs, and saturated fats.
Love food that loves you back can also be fun and delicious. It can be a healthy version of your favorite indulgence, such as a cauliflower crust pizza, a veggie burger, or a sweet potato casserole. It can be a new recipe you’ve always wanted to try, such as a Thai curry, a Mexican salad, or a Mediterranean mezze. It can be a meal you share with your loved ones and savor with gratitude and joy.
Love food that loves you back can profoundly impact your physical and mental health. It can boost your immune system, lower your risk of chronic diseases, improve digestion, balance your hormones, and reduce inflammation. It can also enhance your mood, reduce your stress, improve your memory, increase your focus, and boost your creativity.
Love food that loves you back can also be a way to heal your relationship with your body and mind. It can help you listen to your hunger and fullness cues, honor your cravings and preferences, and respect your boundaries and values. It can also help you appreciate your body and mind for all they do for you and treat them with kindness and compassion.
So, if you’re in love with alcohol and feel trapped in a toxic relationship, it’s time to break free and embrace love food that loves you back. It’s time to choose energy over exhaustion, clarity over confusion, memory over the fog, vitality over lethargy, and creativity over boredom. It’s time to nourish your body and mind with the nutrients they need to thrive.
And who knows? You may discover that love food that loves you back is even more delicious and satisfying than that mountain of fries or that swimming pool of alcohol.
Personal Note: I used to be a heavy drinker and know the struggles of breaking free from the toxic relationship with alcohol. It took me years to realize that alcohol was robbing me of my energy, clarity, memory, and creativity and that love food that loves me back was the way to go. I enjoy sharing healthy meals with my friends and family, trying new recipes, and feeling vibrant and alive. I no longer miss the hangovers, the regrets, and the depletion. I choose love over toxicity, and I hope you do too.
