What are you feeding your life with? What nourishes you?聽Let’s hope it’s not just food.

I created C贸moComo to show the close relationship there is between eating and living; as it translates from Spanish, C贸moComo means how to eat.

But it’s not just about eating; it’s about living. C贸moComo is聽about going beyond聽food nutrition, and into life nutrition.

Living just like eating, is a process of taking in (moments), digesting, and letting go or excreting what we don’t need.聽Good nutrition depends聽on聽how well聽your body can digest, assimilate and absorb nutrients; similarly, a good life is really a matter of how well聽you can digest, assimilate, and absorb all the moments in it.

Who we are in the deepest part of our being profoundly impacts the chemistry of our body.

HOW we eat, and WHO we are as eaters deeply affects the way we digest and metabolize our food. Emotions聽affect the mind, and the mind affects metabolism and our ability to digest food. At the end of the day the kind of food, the amount of food, and the quality of food you eat will depend on who you are as an eater. Once you become healthy in the inside (on an emotional, psychological and spiritual level), you will inevitably choose healthier options on the outside.
