“Nourish your body like a temple so that your soul can dwell there,” said Teresa of Avila, a Spanish mystic and church doctor. The most important personal care you can perform is maintaining a well-functioning metabolism.
Metabolism refers to all biological processes that take place in the cell. During these life processes, nutrients supplied are broken down, converted or converted into new substances within the cells. This is necessary for the body to function optimally and for vital processes to occur in the body. Hormones and enzymes play an important function because metabolism is controlled by the nervous and hormonal systems.
Metabolic disorders are much more common than you think.
A metabolic disorder occurs when certain nutrients can no longer be utilized properly. Vital substances no longer reach where they are needed in sufficient quantities. If the metabolism is disturbed, various diseases can occur.
Many metabolic disorders are characterized by widespread symptoms such as weight gain, weight loss, skin redness, stabbing pain or swelling, abdominal cramps, nausea or abdominal pain. In addition to the intestines, the liver in particular has a major influence on the metabolic processes that remove nutrients from food.
How do you activate your metabolism?
Various measures help to restore metabolism.
Detoxify and purify
It is important to cleanse the body of harmful substances. To achieve this, you must first revitalize your detoxification organs. This means that the liver, kidneys and intestines must be activated so that they can carry out this important task well.
Eat high quality organic foods
Good nutrition is also an important factor for a good metabolism. First of all, you need to avoid junk food and sugar. Good to know: Consuming sugar prevents you from burning fat.
Drink enough good water
Water is the solvent and transport medium. This makes it easier for toxins to be transported out of the body. This works well if you drink non-carbonated and low-mineral water. The correct amount is about 35 ml of pure water per kilogram of body weight.
Reinforce good nutrition wisely
There are 47 vital substances that are essential for the organism. Unfortunately, there are more and more people in need. These deficiencies must be supplemented with effective microelements. If all energy sources are full, your metabolism also works better.
More exercise every day
The first guarantee of an efficient metabolism is sufficient physical activity. Exercise is the best way to really boost your metabolism. Exercise burns energy and also builds muscle. Greater muscle mass also allows you to burn more calories.
Be mentally fit
Good and bad thoughts affect our brain and therefore our body. The goal would be to have lasting positive thoughts and feelings, which is possible through mental training.
Avoid negative environmental influences
The “technology tower” in our lives is growing ever higher and our radiation exposure is becoming ever greater. These electromagnetic fields overlap with the body’s microcurrents, which the cells use to communicate with each other. If the cellular voltage potential falls, the metabolism no longer functions optimally. Another problem is fine dust pollution in closed rooms. In “smart” or “electrified” homes it is extremely high because particulate matter stays in the air longer.
A well-functioning metabolism is the first guarantee of a healthy life.
