Need a Quick Fix?

ENERGY, more commonly lack of energy, is one of the most frequent complaints that I hear. Unfortunately, there is not one pill, or one answer that applies to everyone.

Every cell in our body is ALIVE with electric energy that comes from the right balance of minerals, fluids, vitamins and other nutrients. If we don’t have the right balance of nutrients in our bodies, we don’t just shrivel up and die, we adapt. Our bodies have incredible wisdom in each cell that allows us to still function even without optimum fuel (nutrition).

Without the RIGHT NUTRIENTS, the body has to decide what absolutely has to run and what can wait until another time. Another common decision for the body is what to do with the stuff it just doesn’t have time to deal with or doesn’t recognize. The result of these decisions is the story of our personal health. It is affected by what we eat and drink, what kind of air we breathe, our thoughts, our emotions, and the stress in our everyday lives.

The BODY always does its best with the circumstances it has been given, usually it just needs some more favorable circumstances so it can function at its optimum level. Most commonly, a lack of energy is your body’s way of saying that it is overwhelmed. The trick is to figure out what is overwhelming it. Is it simply the commitments in your life such as work, parenting, chores, social obligations, etc.? Or is it diet and nutrition or a chronic health problem that needs attention? Or is it a combination of these things?

QUICK FIXES are sometimes possible. Supplements like Energy Plus, Adaptogen, or Adrenal Support will help support your body so it has more energy. It’s important to take a good multi-vitamin with these and if you are over 40, you may need a sublingual B12 too.

But there are SLOW FIXES too. Eating right for your body can have amazing results over time. Most people do not eat enough quality protein or enough vegetables. And most people consume too much sugar, caffeine, and refined carbohydrates. Balancing the diet has great long-lasting results. And it’s important to fill in nutritional gaps with a high-quality multi-vitamin.

With LACK OF ENERGY in the body, I have 2 basic questions in my mind. The first is to identify any deficiencies of essential nutrients that may be causing the body to malfunction. The second is to identify anything that needs to be eliminated from the body or from the diet so that balance can be restored. These may include non-beneficial foods, parasites, environmental toxins, etc.

LOW ENERGY is normally a COMBINATION of both of these questions. The answers vary individually, but usually lie in the nutritional realm. Natural ways to increase energy involve eating a healthy balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, getting plenty of rest and using herbs and vitamins to help rebalance the body.

A for another slow fix, consider HERBAL CLEANSES. They tend to help energy levels in the body as they help clear out any congestion in organs of elimination that may be bringing you energy level down. I am always amazed at how much better people feel after a whole body cleanse.

Anyone can be healthier and more ENERGETIC with a diet and lifestyle suited to the needs of their body.
