I used to think it was normal to feel tired, because my
schedule of work and home life was so busy. After all,
isn’t lower energy a natural part of getting older? Now
I know that we don’t have to lose our vital energy and
life force as we grow older. At 44, I have more energy
and vitality than I did at 24 – naturally and without
caffeine.
To recapture this youthfulness, I researched countless
books written by MDs, PhD’s and scientists, and tested
out each diet and nutrition principle myself to find
what works.
When you’re young, the hormones estrogen and
testosterone are produced by the sex glands. But as we
get older, the body starts to rely on the adrenal glands
to take over that role. If the adrenals are overly
stressed, they won’t be able to accept this extra
load. This seems to be true now for millions of people
who have been stressing the adrenals for decades of a
busy lifestyle – and are now tired or exhausted.
The thyroid governs energy production and metabolism,
but several things can block the activity of the
thyroid. Oftentimes, an overgrowth of candida albicans
or yeast, and fungus will filter through the body,
interfere with the thyroid and other hormone production,
and contribute to many devastating health problems. We
need protein, omega 3 and 6 fats, B vitamins and more
for healthy hormone production. Caffeine and sugar
stress the organs and glands, while disrupting our
immune system.
I found ways to balance each of these problems with
supplements and nutrition. Yet nothing was enough to
put me into what I call The Energy Zone, where you feel
like you’re swimming in youthful vigor, good health and
energy. And without this bounty of energy, it’s nearly
impossible to achieve your goals and live out your
dreams. Something was missing. Something important.
That’s when I ran across a discovery that has brought a
monumental impact on health, vitality, youthfulness and
energy. One common thread runs through all of these
health concerns and many more. The culprit can be
described in two words – toxic acidity.
Most of the foods that we eat today (as well as the
toxins we breath in from our environment), create an
acid residue that invisibly poisons our tissues, cells
and organs. In order for us to maintain high energy and
youthfulness, we must prevent these acid toxins from
accumulating within our bodies. Our bodies are full
of these acid toxins, only most people don’t know it.
Our health is dependent upon our bodies becoming more
alkaline than acid. But today more than ever, there’s
an extreme amount of acid toxins in the body that is
linked to everything from chronic fatigue, to adrenal
stress, to obesity, to diabetes, to cancer.
To stay healthy and youthful, at least 70% of what we
eat should be alkaline producing foods, and only 30%
acid producing. Herein lies a huge problem. The
typical American diet is exactly the opposite; up to 80%
acid forming foods – like meat, dairy, breads, grains
and sugar. Even an organic health food diet can be
surprisingly packed with acid forming foods, such as
many fruits.
If you want your cells to be filled with oxygen, get
your body into an alkaline zone. Acid waste will snuff
out much of the fire of oxygen within your cells. If you
want to eliminate fatigue, reverse many health
conditions and avoid degenerative disease, I urge you to
find a way to get more alkaline.
One way to become more alkaline is to change your diet
by adding more alkaline type foods. But diet is usually
not enough to prevent toxic acid buildup and remove the
old stored acid waste that is stealing your energy,
health and vitality. The easiest way is to supplement
your diet with formulas specifically designed to shift
your body towards the more healthy alkaline zone.
Hands down, this discovery has eclipsed every bit of
progress that went before. It’s the missing key to
surpassing health barriers to live a full, rich life.
Not only do I have more energy than I’ve had in twenty
years, I feel BETTER than I did twenty years ago. Once
I found a quick and effective way to get alkaline, my
body gained a wonderful balance that lasts all month
long. Now I spend every day in the energy zone.
