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.

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

Fibromyalgia and Bipolar

This has to be my favourite testimonial on Forever's products so far!

Received from Ellie Morgan.

I have suffered with bi polar (looking back) all of my life, but got diagnosed when i was 21, have tried all sorts of medication to try and level me out and when i found the "one" that worked it made me numb to feelings and life and made me put on 8 stone in weight. the dosage had to be upped every 6 months or so as i became immune to the dose. suffering with pain and other symptoms since i was 17, it wasn't till i was 22 i was then diagnosed with fibromyalgia and because i was on bi polar medication the only other thing they could give me was strong pain killers (co codamol ).so for 3 years i wasn't living i was surviving, rarely left the house and when i did i would never go alone, as i would panic and couldn't carry things which made the depression side even worse, any friends i had didn't bother with me any more and was in a very lonely place, a month before i started taking the products (aloe gel, arctic sea and bee pollen) i had occupational therapy round my house kitting me out with things like a kettle tipper because the pain in my wrists meant I couldn’t hold or lift things, sometimes even reading the paper or writing a letter was hard. also things to help me get in and out of the bath and seats so i could do things like ironing and washing up, i was just waiting for them to put hand rails in as I had trouble getting up and down the stairs ( remembering im only 26) ,my ankles would just give way, which meant I walked with a stick , i then got a call from a friend (Chelle Lavery) a friend from years ago, asking did i want to come and see about the business with her, and to be honest i don't no why i went, my mouth just said yea, at the meeting Bernie Allen talked about these products and how they helped her, i thought im gonna get the box just to try the products and did and with a week i noticed a difference with my pain, with the co-codamol i was very constipated and was able to go to the toilet again, and unless you have suffered with constipation i think its hard to understand the (excuse the pun ) relief to be able to go, i actually ran out of my arctic sea for a week and a half and my pain came back so ill definitely not be with out them any more, i now take the royal jelly which helps with my panic attacks and depression, i could write a long list of the products i take now ranging from 30-35 of them but the ones mentioned are the most important for me, oh and the fab for energy boost love it, since i joined in December i have lost 2 stone and am looking forward to losing more. i can now go out on my own, with out the aid of the stick, talk to people, enjoy doing events for my business, now living life i can see a future, so to all this i owe firstly Chelle Lavery my sponsor and the best company out there: FOREVER!
