Perceptions of What We Eat
A guideline that is imperative is understanding how people think, why they think and what they think about.
Each person has his or her own perceptions of what they think is right.
They form these opinions through perceptions that they have learned through experience, read, and adapted through peer pressure of acceptance, family bias or governance, and societies dictates of what is acceptable behavior.
The perceptions we have are imbedded from several areas of environments that affect our behavior.
Through these facets, we tend to limit our truths to these perceptions.
These perceptions control our judgments, our decision-making, and our rational thinking when navigating through problems.
Every decision made is based on previous perceptions as well as facts.
How each individual sees these facts is relevant to the outcome.
People will limit their views to only those perceptions they are taught or have experienced.
They do not look outside the perceived and see the truth.
Therefore, they base decisions on what they perceive instead of the real and rational truth.
Keep an open mind and not let perceptions of a false truth dictate our decisions.
Our perceptions can keep us locked in a cage or set us free.
Most outstanding, famous individuals went against societies perceptions of what is right or wrong.
It is often necessary to challenge the beliefs of others, in order to change opinions and perceptions.
Only then, will others begin to question their own beliefs.
William James described how loyalty to older truths had a strong influence on the acceptance of ideas.
He observed that new truths were accepted only to the extent that the individual desired to assimilate novel ideas.
James acknowledged that individuals sometimes behaved as empiricists and at other times as rationalists.
However, he also argued that in society today, there is a tendency for people to lean toward empirical views.
People love "facts".
James indicated that for ideas to be accepted and internalized, they must be consistent with personal experience, confirm to shared logic, and be perceived as antecedents to "truth".
In our society today, we select our foods based on what we are told through commercials, internet web pages and TV host shows.
We do not read the labels and look beyond what we are told to think for ourselves.
We are products of our own making.
I was at the store yesterday and saw a woman taking drinks from the shelf and putting it in her basket.
I was talking to my Mom and mentioning how people do not read the labels.
I was looking for a drink that did not contain food colored dyes or preservatives.
Hard to find these days.
The woman must have overheard me because she began to read the label.
I was surprised to see she put all the bottles of drink back on the shelf and started reading the labels of the other drinks in the section.
Look at what you are drinking and eating.
Many refreshing drinks are good for you but you have to look for them.
Carbonated drinks will cause you to retain water; cool aide or fruit drinks will have food color dyes in them so read the labels.
You would be surprised what is in them.
When my children were little I would give them cool aide until one day my husband took some of the dry cool aide from the packet, added a little water to it and then to my surprise, began to take the polish off his military boots.
I went to the cupboard and threw those packs of cool aide away and have been reading labels ever since.
It is more than just reading labels though.
It is learning what those chemicals do to our bodies.
We are truly a product of our time and see fast as best.
We have such a selection of drinks and food products available to us we do not think of how our bodies are reacting to them.
If we take a few minutes and read the label, you might be surprised at what you are really drinking or eating.
Read the labels, learn about nutrition, and listen to how gluten free products can be good for your child and yourself.
Look for snacks and drinks that do not contain preservatives and food dyes.
If we are what we eat then look in your cupboard.
The theorists were correct in stating we are what we perceive ourselves to be.
If our decisions are based on what we have been taught, see, hear and experience let us change our experiences to be based on facts and not perceptions.
Did you know black rice is good for inflammation; red rice helps lower cholesterol and brown rice is good for those with diabetes? Interesting how we do not look outside the box to see what the value is of food products.
