You Are NOT What You Eat
That old saying of “you are what you eat”, is really actually short sighted. Yes, the food we eat matters, A LOT, as we discussed previously.
Pressure; pushing down on me
I think every one of us can relate to having stress and it feeling like “pressure”. This pressure can feel physically straining such as a tension headache where your forehead hurts and it wraps around your whole head. Other times it is tightness in your neck, shoulders, or lower back. Sometimes it is emotional and we snap at a loved one or are more irritable with every day life. It can even cause insomnia, altered bowel function, changes appetites, and can affect our sex life.
A Toxic Soup
Toxins are everywhere and unavoidable. This can feel very overwhelming for many of us. It’s like we can get into a rabbit hole thinking the whole world is against us and there is nothing we can do to stop it so we just try to not think about it. However, there are ways where we can make small changes over time and reduce our toxic load. This is a very important part of living a healthy lifestyle; living a wellness-promoting lifestyle.
A SAD diet
“We do not have a magical supply of nutrients stored in our left butt cheek" We have to consume vitamins, minerals, amino acids, electrolytes EVERY SINGLE DAY. There has been decades of focus surrounding food and the perfect diet with debate on calories, carbs, fats, or proteins. If we break it all down, we know that the human body is incredibly resilient and capable of surviving challenges. If it is nourished that is. In order to thrive, we need oxygen, water, minerals, amino acids (protein), vitamins, essential fats, fiber, glucose (sugar), phytonutrients, and enzymes. These are the building blocks of human cells, which turn into tissues, which turns into systems, which make up the human. If we don’t supply the body with the needed fuel, it will not function properly. No gas, no go.
