As a culture we are suffering from chronic and inflammatory disease as a response to unhealthy conditions stemming from our food. These issues have spiked in the last century due to a drastic change in our food and beverages as they have been pumped with sugar and preservatives and stripped of the nutrients originally designed to nourish us. This change has caused adverse effects on the population over the last decade you even may have noticed a lethargic feel, reliance on stimulants to get through the day, difficulty getting pregnant, and digestive disturbances and inflammation. These symptoms are effects of an imbalance in the endocrine system which regulates our metabolism, growth, hormone production, and sexual function. However, we can reverse these adverse effects and support our endocrine system simply by making specific choices about the foods we eat. By readjusting our intake by adding more necessary protein and consuming essential fats and vitamins we can regain our natural vigor and be ready to take on the day.

Digesting well helps us feel well from the inside out. We work all of the time, working to support our families, working out when we can, post all this work we go to enjoy a rich meal at the end of the day just to have heartburn? We need to enable the digestion phase of life to get the most out of our food. Especially during times of stress. The fight, flight system and the rest digest system are balanced in optimal function.

Physical Stress causes mineral decrease. Sugar stress causes potassium decrease. Heat stress causes sodium decrease as our body tries to cool itself. When the body is under stress it sweats more to keep cool. When we sweat not only do we lose water but we also lose sodium salt. Sodium is also lost in urination and defecation. Thus a salt free diet is not advised. Sugar and stimulant stress lead to potassium decrease. Why? Because our actions constantly write checks on our body bank account. Modern life makes it so easy to write checks or borrowing on credit. Filling the bank account takes discipline. Same with the body. Trace Minerals are half of our hormone production!
