The quality of life. Body knows.

These last years it seems that all sorts of food are bad for one or another part of our body. And we finally ask ourselves if it is better to die of hunger. My mother was a diabetic (among other things) for several years. After my father died, we went many times shopping or to her doctor and had a lunch out. At those times, my mother would ask me with a yearning voice if she could eat ice cream for dessert. I never said no. I believe in the quality of life. And nobody s sure about the quantity of life we will have. So she asked for the smallest ice cream, ate one spoonful and could not stand the sweetness anymore. She left the dessert, but she had been happy. I don´t care much how healthy is th food I eat. But it seems that my body knows. Just like my mother could not eat more than a spoonfull of ice cream, I are barely drinking a glass or 2 of wine ond only when friends are around now. And my plates are less full now. We can learn little by little to eat less sugar and less salt. Do you listen to your body? How do you do it?
