The middle of January is usually when our efforts of a detox
start to fade and we end up suffering from a cold or two. When you think about
the demands we put our bodies through, it is no wonder that New Year
Resolutions start to fall wayside. So, how can we really start a fresh and make
sure our bodies are in top shape to detox. Let's face it as Dr Schwarzbein
says; 'you have to be healthy in order to lose weight, not lose weight in order
to be healthy! "
The build up to Christmas can be a stressful time and finally when it comes, we
overindulge in food and drink. This puts our bodies under immense stress as it
tries to cope with the excessive food/alcohol intake. No wonder when we start
the New Year it doesn't take long before we feel 'run down' and our resolutions
start to get pushed aside.
It is usually our motivation that allows us to 'sike' ourselves up to start the
new diet, or new fitness regime. And it is usually the motivation and
determined will power that carries us through, but we usually find that this
only lasts the first week or so before we start feeling run down, less
motivated and 'burnt out'.
If you think about it most people go on a calorie/fat restricted diet and put
their bodies through exercise programmes that they just aren't ready for. The
body eventually can't cope with the excessive demands and as a result will
start craving stimulants to get the energy it needs. Therefore, we end up
having 'just one' coffee in the afternoon as a 'pick me up'. Then your sugar
cravings come back and you find that your will power starts to fade. Before we
know it we are back to our old ways,
living off processed foods, stimulants and don't those exercise programmes
become less and less interesting? "Oh I've had such a hard day at work,
I haven't got the energy to go to the gym, I need to go home and rest in front
of the t.v' (Sound familiar?)
So how can we check and see under what level of stress are bodies are having to
cope with? And how can we assess how 'burnt out' we really are?
Read the rest of this article, which nicely describes in depth, about your
Adrenal glands and how we can get them assessed and balanced. How great to
think that you could soon actually start to have energy all day ,everyday and
have that motivation to stick to your New Year Resolution that will last for
the whole year!
