Not every ailment automatically leads to a visit to the doctor's surgery. Particularly in the case of diffuse complaints, intolerances or chronic ailments, something else plays a decisive role that is often neglected in hectic everyday life: conscious awareness of your own body - in short: listening to yourself.
If you carefully observe how your body reacts to certain foods, exercise patterns or everyday situations, you are often able to recognise irregularities or warning signs in good time, long before they develop into real symptoms of serious illnesses.<\/p>

Mindfulness instead of alarmism<\/strong>
However, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself either. A pulling sensation in the stomach after eating, a sinking feeling in the morning, sudden tiredness after eating certain foods - much of this is not a health warning sign, but an indication that something is simply not working properly. If you recognise recurring patterns, you can often find out for yourself which intolerance or lifestyle habit is behind them.
A classic example: reflux (heartburn). The causes are as individual as the people themselves - eating too late, too much coffee, combinations of foods. Although medication alleviates the symptoms, keeping a close eye on your own diet may help better in the long term than any acid blocker.<\/p>

Helping people to help themselves - useful for many illnesses<\/strong>
Even with type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure or digestive problems, mindful self-care cannot avoid medical treatment, but it can provide crucial support. A food diary or conscious observation of daily routines is often enough to find out what is good for the body and what puts a strain on it.<\/p>

Of course, self-observation is no substitute for a medical diagnosis. However, it helps to confront the doctor with the individual problem in a more targeted way, with specific questions and a better understanding of one's own feelings. And: self-assessment relieves the already strained system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The underestimated skill: knowing your own body<\/strong>
Self-knowledge is not a luxury, but a tool. Once you have realised how you can react to stress, exercise, food or lack of sleep, you can and will consciously take countermeasures. Small adjustments in everyday life - to diet, exercise or breaks - often have a big impact. Last but not least, being mindful of yourself also promotes mental health. Those who take themselves seriously live healthier lives - often without realising it.
A doctor can treat, but only we ourselves can sense when something is wrong. The earlier we learn to listen to our body, the less we have to silence it. Mindfulness is not a therapy - but it is a crucial part of all health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

People who know themselves better often live healthier lives. These warning signs deserve more attention:<\/p>

1. sudden tiredness after eating
\u25b6 May be due to sugar or carbohydrate intolerance, insulin resistance
or food reactions.
2. heartburn after certain meals
\u25b6 Frequent symptom of reflux. Observe: time of day, food,
combinations - and react early.
3. joint pain in the morning or after exertion
\u25b6 Early signs of osteoarthritis or inflammatory processes.
Diet, exercise and weight play a major role here.
4. concentration problems or mood swings
\u25b6 Often underestimated: sleep quality, fluid balance
and blood sugar fluctuations have a significant effect.
5. digestive complaints without recognisable cause
Common in lactose, gluten or fructose intolerance.
A food diary can provide clarity.<\/p>

Tip: Keep a small log over a few weeks - when do you
What complaints do you have? This also helps when talking to the doctor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
