Your healthy body. What keeps it that way?

Nutritionist Adel Davis says in her book “Let’s eat Right to Keep Fit“, “In fact, when one considers the healthy body as a functional structure of billions of cells having hundreds of separate purposes, yet each working cooperatively in perfect unison with absolute harmony, so far surpassing the most delicate machinery made by man, one cannot help but be amazed

One of the most important organs in the body which assist in this harmony is the Liver. This organ is the storage house which holds fats, sugars, and proteins coming from the digestive tract, ready to supply them to your cells the second they are needed. It is largely in the Liver that toxic substances which might damage your cells are rendered harmless.

With the help of insulin, it largely controls the amount of sugar in the blood, able to withdraw sugar when there is too much in the blood and storing it in the form of glycogen (stored form of glucose in the liver). The cell with all its processes and activities multiplied by billions is you. The degree to which your cells can maintain their ideal structure and carry on their normal functions is the degree of your health.

A seemingly minor lack of a single nutrient or of many nutrients can damage the structure and /or interfere with its functions. A severe deficiency of one or more nutrients, according to Edal Davis, can bring about disaster. She says, “It is the amount of nutrients supplied to the cells themselves which determines the state of your health. Malnutrition does not mean a faulty diet, or even faulty absorption: it means only that less than enough of one or more nutrients reaches the cells.

The total of all the never-ending activities of all the cells is spoken of as metabolism (the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy). Here is the problem according to Adel, ” a lack of any nutrient or nutrients can slow down the activities of the cells and as a result less food is “needed” and unwanted weight gain can result, what we call today obesity.

She says again, ” only when all nutrients are generously supplied can the activities of the body be maintained at the ideal speed and metabolism (change of food to energy inside your body) remain normal. It would appear then that if we are to overcome obesity correctly, we need the nutritionist and we need them in every hospital in the country.

Tips:

1) review your knowledge of the nutrients in your food keeping in mind that processed food may have lost its nutrients. Look at the makeup of the foods you buy this week when you shop. It will take some confront to do this so take 2 or 3 food items each week and look and educate yourself.

2) Grab some different veg item or fruit that you wouldn’t normally eat and try it. Fresh veg and fruit are full of nutrients.

3) Come to Get  Back Health Chiropractic Clinic this week and get your back adjusted . This will help align your nervous system which in turn helps with the release of your body’s functions towards health and livingness.
