Health is more than just the absence of symptoms; it is the balance of systems and energy that encompasses mind, body, and spirit. The body’s natural tendency is to cure itself. Just like you don’t have to think about curing a little cut on your hand, your body has an inbuilt urge to repair all disorders. The question that everyone must ask is, “Why does anyone become ill?”
“All disease begins in the gut,” Hippocrates, the father of medicine, reportedly said.
Approximately 70% of the immune system is housed in the gut. According to a large body of scientific study, it plays an important part in our immune function and mental/emotional state. Because of the wide spectrum of repercussions from any level of gut dysfunction, removing anything that may be interfering with its function if you are to overcome a chronic illness is critical. Bloating, constipation, loose stools, or indigestion should be interpreted as your body’s warning signs of breakdown.
In a healthy state, the body experiences net build-up, also known as anabolism. During disease, the body undergoes net breakdown, also known as catabolism. When examining a health problem, it is critical to consider the symptom in the context of the entire picture of health and what concerns may be contributing to the body’s breakdown. Focusing on the symptom as if it were separate from the rest of the body is precisely why conventional medicine fails to treat chronic illness successfully.
If you want to achieve radiant health and get out of the grip of chronic sickness, there are three parts of your body that, when correctly handled, will provide great results for almost every ailment. Once again, restoring gut health is critical. The next aspect of wellbeing is optimizing blood sugar stability. Blood sugar swings, like intestinal imbalances, can harm every bodily system because all systems rely on steady/stable blood sugar to function properly.
This is accomplished mostly through a paleo-style diet (little to no grains/high protein/high fat) and adequate mineral balance (magnesium, chromium, vanadium, zinc).
Adrenal/thyroid function is the other component of this triangle of biochemical health. These two glands work together to keep our bodies energy levels stable and are inextricably linked in how they do it. Stress, whether mental, emotional, or physical, affects these glands and, as a result, general health.
They require a healthy diet, exercise, nutritional status, and stress management to function effectively. A route to wholeness can be found by appropriately balancing these parts of the biochemical triangle of health simultaneously. Neglecting any of these will almost likely prolong the agony of chronic illness.
