Certain Groups Can Get Healthy Quick by Targeting Deficiencies
Unfortunately, this is an insidious process. It is not easy to get healthy quick.There are subtle changes over a long period of time before one can recognize the effects of poor nutritional status. An innate intelligence is present in all of our bodies that allow us to adapt to outside stressors. For example, a well-nourished individual may feel tired (due to protein depletion), but only temporarily. The body "knows" alternate fuel reserves until a regular balance is once again maintained. However, if nutritional status is not re-established continual compensatory mechanisms will result in further adaptation. Adaptation will continue, on a lesser favorable level.
There is an "organ hierarchy" in most of us. We are made to preserve our most vital systems at the expense of the other organs. Our body will continue to break down until dis-ease and then death occurs. Sounds bad, but true and inevitable unless recognition and intervention is found early enough to reverse the process. If you or someone you know someone who falls in the following categories, you may want to help them regain optimum health and get healthy quick:
One of the largest of these categories is the elderly. South Florida has one of the highest concentrations of elderly compared to other regions of the USA. And unfortunately they are often not paid attention to as if getting old is a disease in itself! I think of it as another rite of passage and should be welcomed and celebrated! Yes, the body changes, but it should not deteriorate as some of us let it. I see patients who are 80 years old flying their private jet, or are out playing tennis: biological age unmatched by their chronological age. Why are other people not experiencing the same as with their same aged counterparts? They are suffering with depression (which may be due to an amino acid imbalance), lack of teeth (and therefore cannot chew their food), or medication (causing adverse side effects). As a result, anorexia may result and loss of nutrients is available, thus decreasing the availability of the body to do its proper work.
Obsessive dieters also are reaping the effects of micro-nutrient deficiencies. Diet fads that stress one type of food that's predominant will offset the body's systems. Some people have a higher food demand for a particular type of food, such as athletes who exercise too hard. These individuals need more protein and complex carbohydrates, and supplements. They will find themselves subject to lowered immunity and resistance when their body make up is changed with accompanying chemical imbalances.
Chronic alcoholics suffer from serious gastritis, impaired absorption of the stomach and intestine, and because of this eat empty calories with no nutritional content. They also have a low thiamine status, which is needed for the body's energy intake
Adolescents are victims of media drilling. Unrealistic expectations of ideal body image are template into their psyche. Normal weight girls are brain washed into thinking that they are fat. Well-developed boys think they are too thin or lacking in muscular development. Strange rituals and eating pattern then start such as bulimia (throwing up food), diuretic use, anorexia, food faddisms, etc. This can cause a lack of growth, impaired energy levels, moodiness, and irritability.
Infants of low birth-weight or those with birth defects often have eating difficulties and low stores of nutrients. Lack of vital nutrients will manifest later in life if not intervened.
Young children with rapid growth spurts have greater nutrient needs. Without the proper nutrition, poor growth and development will follow. This also will affect mental function and capacity.
Optimum health is earned. It is not an inevitable right. We do have the ability to change and reverse the direction of our health. However, holistic changes take longer than drugs. However, my opinion is such that natural is better when given a choice and if reasonably possible. For one, you do not suffer severe drug side effects. Another reason is that you are merely putting a band-aide on the problem, rather than to find the cause. Keep in mind however, for every week of a specific nutrient deficiency, it takes approximately four weeks for re-establishment of normal levels in the body.
