What you probably DON'T know about your body

Adrenal fatigue versus fat burn vs muscle burn (and not the good kind)

Limiting stimulants for some people is highly recommended. Stimulants meaning your morning coffee, green tea, soda, energy drinks and all other forms of caffeine, ephedrine, B6, B12 are all consider “stimulants.” Yes some are stronger and seemingly more effective than others but nonetheless they all alter the body’s chemistry in some way.

The health and wellness industry for the past 20-30 years has exhausted its emphasis on stimulants for weight loss results. And in some cases, and for some people, this method may be working temporarily or as a jump start from the couch to the gym. Yet, in actuality, long term stimulant use, can lead to chronic fatigue and a high tolerance, which in turn can be far more detrimental than where you started.

Stimulants like espresso and red bulls usually bring on an immediate reaction for energy and can even release the brains happy chemicals that bring on euphoric-like symptoms; but please understand and accept that no actual weight loss is insured.

What truly needs to be the focus is your overall body and brain chemistry. I know this may seem new-age and foreign and has just recently being accepted as mainstream.

In fact, assessing the brain and body signals, as a whole, is heavily featured in shows like The Doctors and Dr. Oz. And from this perspective, many researchers and developers have recently been able to discover there is a much higher possibility for health issue improvements in the next decade to come.

Sleep, exercise, food/ratio intake, life stressors: like divorce, loss of a loved-one, moving away and heart-ache, can all play a major role in our bodies reactors system.

We must think of our body as a whole, meaning working synergistically together like a symphony. The physics theory that states, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” is equally relevant in the body.

What some may not understand is that the body can sometimes take days and even months to actually retrieve information from the brain in order to signals some sort of change to the body.

Lesson recap:

~become aware and conscious of your thoughts.
~Allow uninterrupted sleep in to your life for proper cell rejuvenation and renewal
~exercise to help clear your thoughts and mind
~Treat your body kindly and avoid toxic wastes in like cigarettes and alcohol.
