Recharge

Time for another post on LIFE! I like to incorporate all aspects of life into my blog posts besides nutrition, exercise, and toxins. Taking time out to recharge is essential to our physical and emotional health. It can mean the difference between burnout and excelling.

  I took the day off yesterday and lived in the moment. Spent some time with a great guy and was happy with myself and where I am in life. I don't usually let myself unwind because I am always doing things to better myself and improve my business. I'm not one to stay up late or sleep in because I do not like the feeling of "wasting" a day. But yesterday was an exception and I loved it! I even slept for 11 hours last night!!! That is unheard of for me! LOL! My body needed the rest and I'm sure it was greatful that I allowed it to recharge!


If we take care of our bodies we have more energy and are more inclined to take care of others. When we feel GOOD we are able to handle what life throws our way! My friend just sent me this song and I love it so I thought I would share it with you! Go into each day thinking it will be the best one of your life!

Food Intolerances Could Be Making You Fat

70 to 80 percent of the United States population is intolerant to one or more foods!  This number is believed to be rising due to several lifestyle factors in our modern world: processed foods, convenience foods, corn and soybeans in EVERYTHING, food colorings and additives, preservatives, and etc.  Most doctor visits are for misdiagnosed food intolerances. 

 There is a difference between a food "allergy" and a food "intolerance". 
Food Allergy:

 Definition- the body reacts in the predictable fashion-with an immune system attack that results in symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or a skin rash.  (peanuts, soy, dairy products, shellfish, etc.)  (immediate reaction)
Food Intolerance: 

 Definition-when protein molecules or one or more chemicals in particular foods cause a complex series of reactions eventually causing white blood cells to react.  Reactions may include: leaky blood vessels, increased production of mucous, chronic inflammation of tissue, contraction of the smooth muscle of the lungs, intestines, and stomach, and general disruption of biochemical processes. (may not show up for days later..)

 Common Symptoms Include:


Acne, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, ADHD, Autism, bed-wetting, chronic diarrhea, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, ear infections, eczema, hay fever, headaches (tension type and migraine), inflammatory bowel disease, muscle aches, obesity, panic attacks, stuffy nose, watery itchy eyes, weight gain, bloating, and etc. 

 We crave the very foods we are most intolerant to! They be disguised and may not show up until hours or days later.  If you eat the same things day in and day out your body cannot fully get rid of the residue and your body will eventually start to attack it causing the symptoms listed above. 

 Food allergies and intolerance commonly causes inflammation in the gut.  The greater the level of inflammation in your digestive system, the greater likelihood that your abdominal muscles will NOT respond to exercise.  (paunch belly)

 When overweight people remove intolerant foods from their diet, their brain chemicals, metabolism, and digestive system normalize.  Their food addictions vanish, their metabolism functions at its optimum rate, and their water retention disappears-without deprivation low-calorie diets, dangerous diet drugs, and endless hours of exercise. 

 Taking Action against Food Allergy and Intolerance:
Blood Test: ALCAT that I offer. This is a computerized blood test which measures any changes to white blood cells in presence of common foods, environmental chemicals, pharmaceuticals, molds, herbs, soy, gluten, dairy, candida, and etc. This test is much more reliable and accurate than skin scratch tests and ones done at your doctor's office. 

 If the white blood cells become enlarged, burst, or shrink, these changes set the stage for serious health problems that develop immediately or perhaps years later. Cost varies depending on the different test panels! Please contact me for more information! 712.790.5883 Jackie@OptimumWellnessMN.com

Liver Cleansing Foods

Your liver is your main detoxifying organ! It is bombarded with toxins every day. The FDA has approved over 3,000 chemicals and food additives just in our food supply! 

 What Are the Functions of the Liver?

 *It is responsible for the production of bile which is stored in the gallbladder and released when required for the digestion of fats.

 *The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is converted back to glucose again when needed for energy.

 *It also plays an important role in the metabolism of protein and fats. It stores the vitamins A, D, K, B12 and folate and synthesizes blood clotting factors.

 *Another important role is as a detoxifier, breaking down or transforming substances like ammonia, metabolic waste, drugs, alcohol and chemicals, so that they can be excreted. 
So many functions! That is why it is so important to make sure it is working properly.  Why not add some foods to your diet to help your liver out?!?!

Variety is the Spice of Life 

I believe that many people are unhappy because they aren't doing anything to develop their potential. If you want to see your potential developed to its fullest, don't wait until everything is perfect!! Do something now! Start laying your hand to whatever is in front of you. 

You must give your potential some form by doing something with it. You will never find what you are capable of doing if you never try anything. Challenge yourself! Try something new!! Don't get stuck in the same routine day in and day out! Spice it up!! LOL! 





Don't be so afraid of failing that you never take a chance. Don't stay in the safety zone. You may feel safe, but you will never succeed at developing your full potential or being fulfilled in what you are doing. Step out into what you feel God is leading you to do, and you will soon discover what you can and cannot do. 






You are full of God-given potential, and he wants to do more through your life than you could ever imagine, but it requires your cooperation. Stop and listen, he will lead you in the right direction!! Just a few thoughts for the day! 


Be Well! 
Jackie
