or 2 things when it comes to regaining our health. Unfortunately,
there are a multitude of factors we never even consider as important
to our health, and any one of them could block our efforts to get the
health we desire.
Here are 6 core reasons your health may be compromised.
1.Chronic stress
Stress is one of the most recognized factors for causing health
problems, yet it seems to be the most difficult one to control. As a
result of this chronic condition, adrenal exhaustion sets in, which
taps out your ability to adapt to situations in your life, leaving you
worn out, stressed, overwhelmed, and depressed.
A study done by Texas A&M University illustrated the relationship
between chronic stress and immune dysfunction. As stated by lead
author Mary Meagher, "People exposed to chronic social conflict
experience high levels of stress and consequent dysregulation of the
immune system, thereby increasing vulnerability to infectious and
autoimmune disease."
2. Nutritional deficiencies
Living off a food production system that encourages "strip mining" of
the soils, toxic plant and insect management, as well as excessive
processing, leaves the consumer with choices that are up to 50% more
nutrient deficient than 50 years ago. This lack of appropriate
vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria results in the
body eventually suffering from nutritional deficiencies.
When the body becomes nutrient deficient, simple processes become
problematic as the body struggles to carry out functions without the
necessary material in which to do them. Even one glaring nutrient
deficiency can cause a serious health problem. A combination can
result in many chronic diseases until deficiencies are corrected.
3. Excessive toxicity
We live in a toxic world, and the inability to properly remove these
toxins from our lifestyle and our body will inevitably lead to pain
and suffering.
Some tend to believe that the body is designed to detoxify, and they
are right, except our design has become burdened with toxins to the
point that it has become partially paralyzed and unable to perform its
duties appropriately. With toxins placed on our plates, in the air we
breathe, the water we drink, the personal care products we use, and
even put directly into our physiology (dental amalgams, vaccines), our
body has no choice but to break down and be overcome with disease.
4. Poor sleep
Sleep is the key period for the body to regenerate; yet we have
treated this crucial aspect of a healthy lifestyle as an afterthought.
"I'll sleep when I'm dead" is a commonly coined phrase, which may
bring that end game faster than expected.
Going to bed in the wee hours of the morning and waking up early, not
only robs you of precious regeneration time, it also disrupts your
circadian rhythm, which eventually will result in completely messed up
sleep patterns in the future. This is a recipe for faster degeneration
and illness.
5. Lack of movement or flow
Inactivity is another major component to sickness. Not necessarily
because it contributes to obesity, but more because it contributes to
stagnation. Flow is required in order to keep your muscles, organs,
muscles, tendons, and tissues flooded with nutrients in all areas of
the body.
This doesn't mean you need to work out 6 days a week for 60 minutes a
day, but you should engage in some type of physical activity at least
5 times a week so you increase your heart rate and blood flow.
6. Disconnect from the basics
We tend to ignore or block the most basic necessities in life, and it
has a direct negative affect on our health. We have blocked the suns
rays, unplugged from the healing nature of the earth, and are
consuming poor water, which has resulted in vitamin D deficiencies,
inflammation, and inadequate hydration. The end result of deficiencies
in these basics of life is poor health.
