One day, the EZ things you once did become a challenge.
Getting energy and enthusiasm feel like a difficult marathon.
You look in the mirror and hate the changes you see.
You realize now health was the main thing but neglected it when it mattered most.
It is the main pillar holding your life steady.
You think, is it too late to change it now? No it’s not but you will have to get more determined than ever to get it back.
#1.- SLEEP– you have to get your R & R. Night time is when you body rebuilds cells, tissue and heals. This may take the process of elinmination to figure this one out, it wont be easy but dont give up! Sleep is vital.
There’s thousands of different products out there for sleep, most likely it’s a hormonal imbalance. Have your hormone panel done to determine what’s off track, your doctor can order the test.
Hormones are EVERYTHING when it comes to aging gracefully and avoiding metabolic disorders. I could write everyday for a year about hormones alone and you still wouldn’t know a fraction about how vital they are! A good example is insulin. Insulin is a hormone your body makes. When your body is not making insulin you will become diabetic. You say why isn’t my body making insulin/hormones any longer? GREAT question, it can’t because it doesn’t have all the ingredients to bake the cake!
#2. High Quality Organic Minerals are the key to hormones, that includes salt!
Yes, I said salt! While everyone’s been on the no salt low salt kick for the last 40 years, health has been on a steady decline. Again, 1 year, everyday, we could talk about minerals, not long enough. We been really duped when it comes to everyday salts!
The primary “salt” considered as an essential mineral for the human body is sodium chloride (common table salt, find one organic, one with all 118 minerals in it), which will provide the building blocks for cells, tissue, blood and every organ in your body. These are called essential because you need them every day of your life!
Sodium Chloride is only one of the essential minerals needed daily for your healths sake. In the nutritional context, the term “mineral salts” refers to various inorganic compounds (salts in the chemical sense) that provide essential minerals. Below are the essential minerals needed in your daily diet:
Sodium: Essential for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, helps maintain proper fluid balance and blood pressure.
Chloride: Vital for regulating blood pH and pressure and is a crucial component in the production of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid).
Potassium: Helps regulate blood pressure by balancing the effects of sodium, important for heart function, essential for nerve impulse transmission and muscle function.
Magnesium: Plays a huge role in maintaining healthy bones, regulating muscle, nerve function, and supporting the immune system.
Calcium: My number 1 and the most abundant mineral in the body, you wont have strong bones or healthy teeth without this guy! It is also essential for nerve, muscle function and blood clotting.
Keep in mind, common table salt (sodium chloride) is often fortified with iodine. Iodine is an essential micronutrient that the body, particularly glands like the thyroid gland, requires to produce hormones that regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature.
Many minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium are naturally present in unrefined salts like sea salt or rock salt in trace amounts. Many salts, are obtained in boxes, cans and bags of processed foods, as salt is a preservative. The body does NOT produce nor store these minerals and totally relies on dietary intake. Bottom line if you’re not getting them every day either through SUPPLEMENTS or in a healthy diet, your health will suffer.
In a nut shell- these are the two biggest things that contribute to failing body functions, weight gain and poor overall health. Both of these will affect glands and organ function.
