Adaptation happens to our health over time, often in ways that are subtle and that we don’t pay much attention to at first. The reducing of energy, difficultly waking up refreshed in the morning, in keeping focused across our day, our lack of time to do anything but rush, that change in the bowel function where foods occasionally cause loose stools which then starts to become more variable over time. Constipation, diarrhoea, and the feeling that all foods are now causing problems when they are eaten. Then spots and skin issues, at your age you think! The back pain, and wider body joint pain, and then you pick up every cold going around and can’t seem to throw them off before another one arrives. All often small changes that happen over a period of time, years, slowly an erosion of health, manageable, but not comfortable but not so problematic that you can’t function with them, that you can’t live with them, but with little time you have no real chance to think about them in detail, to connect the dots. The body is slowly but surely adapting to the environment you are giving it, one which isn’t listening or paying attention, it’s doing its best, are we ageing prematurely or just not listening and paying attention?
