Why do I Crave Sugar And Get Fatigued?

By LaShay Canady Leave a Comment

IMG_20160211_161441 You may have that typical lunch at work during a working lunch: sandwich, chips or potato salad, fruit, and a ‘wonderful’ dessert (see image). When I see that lunch in front of me, my mind goes to blood sugar handling issues with all of those carbs and hardly any fat. Gggggrrrr!

Imagine the numerous times you trigger your insulin in a day’s time:
Breakfast includes: granola, yogurt, fruit, and skim milk or orange juice
Lunch: Sandwich, chips or fries, diet soda, something sweet
Afternoon snack: candy bar or handful of nuts, another couple of fruits
Dinner: Pasta with spaghetti sauce with ground turkey, garlic bread with margarine, ice cream. [Read more…]

Reduce Your Blood Pressure by Doing This!

Physicians Michael and Mary Eades wrote a book entitled ‘Protein Power‘ and they discuss the fast (and natural) way to get high blood pressure down. They were on the forefront to recognize that high insulin levels from the typical high-carbohydrate American diet were KEY cause of high blood pressure. The high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet they recommend is so effective that it comes with a warning: “WARNING: A high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet is so effective in lowering blood pressure that if you are on blood pressure medications, you must be careful. You may become dizzy and faint within just a few days and you will need to be taken off [blood pressure] medication quickly.” Imagine that…. 🙂

When passing gas is not cute anymore….

Everyone probably has that relative who just looooves to pass gas all the time! You may even have a nickname for that person. Here is the real story about that gas:

If your digestive system is not processing proteins correctly, an organic gas builds up from the proteins rotting. The acid starts to erode in the stomach. This is due to the lack of hydrochloric acids, not because of eating meats, per se.

If it is protein that is rotting, the process is called putrefaction. If it is carbohydrate that is rotting, the process is called fermentation. If fat is rotting, it is called rancification. If the stomach environment has the appropriate hydrochloric acid and pepsin, the putrefaction, fermentation, or rancification will not happen. If other words, if the foods is digested properly, there is no rotting.

Taking antacids if NOT the solution. They may give temporary relief, but makes the situation way worse than before. Not only does the antacid neutralize the acid of putrefaction, it also neutralizes your digestive acids. Then you have even LESS hydrochloric acid than before taking the antacids. Vicious cycle! This can lead to stomach or duodenal ulcers.

Schedule a Nutritional Exam today to see which digestive enzyme you need and stop all that farting!

The digestive system from chewing to elimination should be gentle, silent, and uneventful. If it is not, you have digestive issues that need to be addressed.
