Listen to Your Body?

We only have a surface level understanding of what our body needs. We know it needs rest, good food, muscles... and we know the actions that helps in those areas but our body has never flat out told us "I need more vitamin A". How it communicates with us is by giving us visual, or psychological, cues that we must decipher.

What this tells me is that we're not supposed to have awareness and our bodies didn't evolve to communicate effectively with it. The current communication system between our body/mind is no different than one with a dog and its mind. While we do have the power to diagnose an issue there's no way for us to ask what it needs. It feels a bit like the mind is trapped into this moving prison that we control parts of.

Maybe it's better this way?

If we could communicate with our body, the same as we could with other people, maybe it would be too distracting? Like when we're in pain the pain is constantly reminding us that its there.
