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

End of a great day!
I have been an osteopathic medicine student for three years now, always looking for natural or alternative methods to improving health and wellness. I have leaned a lot from my degree and have made a number of changes to my own life as a result.
My natural alternative work with Forever Living compliments the degree amazingly well. As the old saying goes "you are what you eat" but in reality you are what you absorb and with bad gut health you end up with poor nutritional absorption, which results in malnourishment and various physiological issues which become physical issues later on.
Having become an aloe drinker myself I can safely say I have noticed the difference in various aspects of my life but as a seller it would be wrong of me to harp on about it, doesn't seem feasible nor believable from the person who distributes the products does it?

Reviews and testimonials are what gets people to try a different approach not hard sales ha!!
With public faith being lost in allopathic GP's and pharmaceuticals a lot more are looking at
other ways to improve their standard of life. Its almost like a medical revolution!!
I would LOVE to hear about your results from non conventional treatments. Have you tried naturopathy? How about herbalism? Or Acupuncture? How did you feel during the treatment? Did it help or worsen your situation? Would You recommend it? Would you use it again?
Comment below if you have any stories to share!
