When it comes to food and nutrition, the two most commonly-asked questions may be, “What should I eat?” and “What SHOULDN’T I eat?” Many of us wish that we could simply find the right answers to these questions so that we can finally find the “perfect” diet for ourselves. But when we only ask these two questions, we're suffering from nutritional tunnel vision.

In this thought-provoking video, Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, offers five fresh, new questions we can ask when we’re ready to shift to a broader perspective on our relationship with eating. They’re guaranteed to give you a whole new outlook on optimum nutrition.

Greetings friends, this is Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

Today’s topic: 5 Super Important Questions to Ask Yourself About Food

Here’s the story: if you care about health, if you care about nutrition, if you care about good eating, then it’s a good idea to keep asking good questions.

Asking the right questions inevitably points us in a smart direction.
The greatest advances in science, technology, philosophy, art, and culture have so often come because somebody somewhere was asking the right questions.

Questions can be quite powerful.

Who am I?
What’s my purpose in this world?
How can I reach my highest potential?
How can I contribute?
How can I find true love?
What do I need to be happy?

Such questions activate the mind and guide the soul. They’re like fine tuned honing devices that help us access a greater wisdom.

So in the interest of having a healthier body, a well functioning metabolism, and a nourishing relationship with food – here are five powerful and important questions to ask yourself about you and food.

1. Do I eat in the ideal state of digestion, assimilation, and calorie burning?

This is a foundational question that I consider one of the top two questions that anyone could possibly ask in the realm of eating and nutrition. That’s because we could be eating the healthiest food in the universe, but if we’re not under the ideal state of digestion, assimilation, and calorie burning – which happens to be the physiologic relaxation response – then we are in no way getting the full nutritional value of our meal. If we eat under stress, we’re excreting nutrients, digestion is impaired, hormones such as insulin and cortisol are secreted which can stimulate weight gain and deregulate appetite, the function of healthy gut bacteria is impaired, and the list goes on and on. We are physiologically designed, by the brilliance of evolution and a higher wisdom – to be optimal processors of nutrition when we’re in the state of parasympathetic nervous system dominance – a fancy term for relaxation. Ask yourself this powerful question every meal, and commit to techniques such as deep breathing, slowing down, taking time with food, and calming your mind – and you’ll officially be a nutritional superstar.

2. Am I nutritionally flexible?

Being nutritionally flexible means that we’re willing to explore when it comes to food and diet. We live in a time when the nutritional landscape is changing rapidly. We re exposed to stressors, toxins in the environment, poor quality food, and all kinds of assaults on our immune system. It’s a good time to be flexible and experiment. Are you willing to try different supplements? If you’ve been a heavy meat eater for all your life, are you willing to go vegetarian for a while? If you’ve been vegetarian for a long time and your health is suffering, have you considered eating high quality animal foods? Are you open to cleansing? Would you consider going gluten-free for a few months? Switching to organic foods? Buying locally produced foods? Have you tried including more healthy fats in your diet? Do you try new foods? Nutritional flexibility gives us the greatest chance for long-term health and long-term survival. Plus it can be a lot of fun.
