A guide to health: Part 1
We all want excellent health, and at times it is allusive. I would like to explore over a 3 part series what we’ve learnt to help maintain good health whilst managing epilepsy as a chronic condition.
Part 1: Detoxify
Our bodies have an incredible ability to cleanse itself, but there comes a limit when even the liver, kidney’s & immune system battle to cope with levels of bacteria, toxin build up and even leads to the body not able to process the nutrition from food. Which in the end leads to all kinds of reactions, from a simple flu infection to when the body is completely run down.
So the place to start is with diet and lifestyle. The basics are obvious: get sufficient rest – enough so that you don’t need to have a clock or a energy drink to wake you up, manage stress, a high-fiber but balanced diet, drink 4-8 glasses of water a day, 1/2 hr moderate exercise a day.
Even with the basic’s in place with the correct diet, the body is not able to absorb or process food properly. So a good digestive enzyme suppliment can help kick start and correct the bodies ability to process food.
