Simple tweaks to help your health!

Sometimes as a health consultant it can get frustrating. People all around are allowing their health to be compromised in the name of fashions and trends without fully researching the outcomes and risks of these. Prime example of bad trend setters are newspapers. If you are as old as I am you may recall the articles stating that eggs are good for you, less than a decade later they became cancerous foods. So how can you know what to eat based on these contradictions?

As we all know our body is comprised of multiple systems, each of these systems contains organs. In turn each of these organs has a specific role in the body to maintain homeostatic function.

The main elements of homeostatic function are: pH, Metabolism (inclusive of excretory functions), Temperature and most importantly Immune Responses.

The systems controlling these are ALL of them!! Every system works in conjunction with the others to maintain this balance.

Now as this is a pretty in depth subject I will leave you to do your own homework on this but here are a few simple tweaks to help and encourage your systems to function better.

Replacing table/sea salt with Himalayan salts

Why?
Minerals!! Iodine is a necessity for Thyroid function. The Thyroid (nice endocrine gland at the front of your lower throat) is responsible for metabolic processes. Give this love and it will in turn love you back.

Replacing processed sugars for unrefined sugars or honey.
Why?
Digestion, insulin sensitivity and prevention of diabetes type 2 (DM2). How you ask? Because it requires you to digest in order to release the required carbohydrates rather than causing insulin spikes and a cellular reduction of insulin sensitivity (leading to DM2). Even better method is to limit or cut these out but not expecting that from anyone.

Drinking water first thing in the morning.
Why?
Get that digestive system moving!! Too many rely on directic drinks and consider these to be enough with regards to fluid intake. Look up the term diuretic and see why its so far off the mark its untrue. Lack of fluid intake leads to constipation, reduced peristaltic movement, kidney stone formation and obviously dehydration. The symptoms of dehydration are numerous but if you are in a bad mood frequently or get headaches a lot, get on the water and keep at it, your body needs time to adjust but you will feel the differences. As well as looking younger and healthier overall.

These are only three of many tricks but depending on your systemic health there are ways and means to nourish and balance out the functions of the organs involved.

Lemon juice in warm water
Organic Apple cider Vinegar
Aloe Vera Juice
Milk Thistle

Aloe propolis is the natural version of a steroid cream. Its contents are highly beneficial to severe skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and of course acne. You don't need a large amount of this to see it improve your skin!

Why do I love it?

I have tried a number of conventional treatments to help my own skin disorders; roacctuane was the last resort but it only worked temporarily. Since using this my skin has improved tenfold so I always ensure I have a tube of this at home!
