Many people don't realize the serious nature of the inflammatory cascade in today's food market. For example when you go to buy an apple at the store and you are attracted by the glow, because it looks almost like glass. Did you know that in most major food markets they buff the apples with High Fructose Corn Syrup to get that look. Majority of everyday products from protein bars to cereals have HFC in them. How can you get away from it? How can you stop eating foods that will later make you sick? You have to treat this like an addiction, because your body will crave these things like a monster when you stop. Don't believe me? Try not having any gluten products for one week. By the third day you will be looking at fast food joints like they were the only source of food in the world.Here are the things I did to help with me moving forward.
1) I increased my water intake during the day. Not only was I consuming more water, but I was consuming more then the "experts" were saying should be taken in during the day. Experts say 8-8 ounces glasses of water. That's all great but when you have anything high in protein you need water to break the bonds. The bonds require water just for that process. My goal was half my body weight in ounces. Why? Aiming for that goal would ensure that a guy with my body weight would have clear urine a pretty good indicator that my kidneys were balanced with salt and nutrients along with filtrate inside of them. Example: I was 196/2= 98 ounces of water a day. Also, get a 10 stage filter for your water system. It will help get most of the chemicals out so that you can take advantage of water without killing the budget.
2) There are 2 Green I have based most of my success on. This is Sun Chlorella & Hemp. Both are very alkaline and help the body decrease inflammation. Both have vital amino acids to help the body rebuild, and most of all both have fiber to remove the toxins from your body. Fiber is a big thing to take into your diet. It helps regulate the amount of fat absorbed through the digestive tract and also helps maintain the health of the intestines and colon. Not to mention they are greens, and anything that has a green leaf with deep pigments causes your body to become more alkaline. Means it eases overall inflammation. That's a benefit all in it's self.
3) Sleep is the key to regeneration and recovery. Going to sleep before the 11pm hour will ensure that you take advantage of the highest melatonin release period at 12 am. It will hel you get deep, sound, restful, regenerative sleep. If you find yourself having stiffness when you wake up after a good nights sleep. Drink a cup of water. It will allow the inter-vertebral disk to maintain hydration during your sleep periods, as your kidneys switch from 26% function to 50% to filter and detox your body during sleep.
I hope these tips help someone regain balance. Much Honor, Respect, and Love your way.
