7 Causes & solutions for low energy
Hi John
Those of you who grew up in the 60’s and 70’s like me can probably remember
watching the Brady Bunch, mastering the “Hula Hoop” and the arrival of the
disco era with its feathered hairstyles, polyester suits and “the Hustle.”
And of course one of the
major issues we remember from the 70s was
the ENERGY CRISIS.
There were images splashed all over the news of people waiting in long lines
for hours to get gas, quadrupling prices, stations rationing how much you
could get, or some running out of gas altogether.
Well, history is repeating itself, my friend.
Because we’re faced with a
modern day energy crisis.
But this time it’s
not about oil shortages and rationings.
It’s about
bodily energy—
YOUR energy.
That’s right—low energy is one of the
primary complaints that
patients report to their doctors and it’s getting worse—not better.
People in increasing numbers are relying on coffee, soda, 5-hour energy
drinks or
Stackers just to keep going through their day.
Now, the begging question here is:
WHAT’S GOING ON?
Why are so many people dragging through life completely dependent on
caffeine and chemicals just to keep their eyeballs open?
Well, the answers are
all around us.
You see, there are seven MAJOR factors around you that could be draining
YOUR energy and leaving you feeling
perpetually pooped (as well as
possibly likely overweight and sick too).
Let’s take a look at the “Seven Sneaky Energy Sappers” as well as discuss
ways you can counteract them and put more pep in YOUR step—fast!
Sneaky Energy Sapper #1:
Overwhelmed immune systems
For most of the history of mankind, chemicals were completely
unheard
of.
Now? We currently have
over 85,000 chemicals in our food,
environment and medications!
These are completely
foreign to your body, most notably your immune
system that has to figure out how to deal with this chemical onslaught and gets
stressed to the max as a result.
Plus our guts are suffering the effects of a modern processed food diet and
poor digestion, which results in proteins being absorbed into the bloodstream
before they’re broken down like they should be. This further taunts your
immune system and puts it in overdrive.
The result? You are FAR more susceptible to energy-sapping infections
and viruses, as well as food allergies and
autoimmune diseases.
How to fight back: In addition to a healthy diet of REAL foods (more on
that below), probiotic supplementation is key.
And when it comes to probiotic supplements that are up to the task, Super Shield is
your ticket.

Sneaky Energy Sapper #2:
Lacking proper sleep
Up until about 130 years ago when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, the
average person got about 9 hours of sleep per night.
Now thanks to lights, TVs, computers and video games (as well as
longer
and longer workdays) we’re down to an average of 6.5 hours per night….and
that’s just not enough for your body and mind to rejuvenate like it needs to.
How to fight back: If you’re a Night Owl, it’s time to change your
ways. Turn off the TV, power down the computer and get some decent rest.
At least 7- 8 hours a night should be your goal.
Sneaky Energy Sapper #3:
Sluggish thyroid or exhausted adrenals
Your thyroid gland is your body’s Grand Central Station of metabolism, and
that includes creating energy from your foods.
So if you have low-functioning thyroid (which is becoming
increasingly
common due to autoimmunity, medications, stress, toxins and heavy metal
exposure) you are practically
guaranteed to be dragging as a result.
Plus your adrenal glands signal your body to create energy when you are
under physical or mental stress.
Problem is, many of us have
chronic ongoing stress—and this
exhausts
our adrenal glands so they can’t do their job as well or at all…and your energy
can come crashing down as a result.
How to fight back: If you suspect thyroid or adrenal hormone deficiencies
may be an issue for you, it’s time to get your hormone levels tested.
In addition, lowering stress and having a healthy diet (more on those below)
are important here too.
Sneaky Energy Sapper #4:
Lacking exercise
Exercise leads to an interesting phenomenon--it
requires energy, but
it also
CREATES energy.
You see, as you become more fit,
all of your organs work better
because they're getting the oxygen and glucose they need and eliminating toxins
-- and that means
increased energy!
How to fight back: Good news here--you don't need to join a
gym!
Even walking at a decent pace for at least 30 minutes is fine.
According to research presented by the American Heart Association, women who
walked briskly each week reported almost 20 percent MORE energy than their
couch potato peers.
So get going!
Sneaky Energy Sapper #5:
Nutrient deficiencies
This is a
biggie.
Thanks to our nutrient-poor typical diets loaded with processed foods,
refined carbs and trans-fats, our poor bodies are suffering from
droves
of nutrient deficiencies.
Two of the most common deficiencies that can affect your energy level are
Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.
Vitamin B12 is absolutely VITAL for your body to create energy.
Plus Vitamin D is essential for proper immune function and the avoidance of
energy-killing autoimmune diseases, viruses and infections.
How to fight back: First of all, remember your body naturally
produces
Vitamin D when you’re exposed to the sun. Problem is,
we’ve been unnecessarily advised to avoid the sun at ALL cost because of the
risk of skin cancer.
Brief (NOT excessive) exposure to the sun is
healthy—it’s how
Nature intended you to get the Vitamin D you need! Spending 10-15 minutes
outdoors is all it takes.
Roasting yourself to the point of burning, on the other hand, is
never
a good idea.
And regarding
Vitamin B12—your body
needs stomach acids to
properly break B12 apart from your foods and absorb it…but since SO many people
are on
acid reducers, their bodies can’t do this. So it’s no
wonder that deficiencies in B12 continue to become more common!
Plus as you age, your stomach acid production can decrease which can also
cause B12 deficiency.
Your doctor can do a simple test to see if you're low in B12. If you
are and changes to your diet aren't enough, don't just think that pills or
shots are your only options. B12 pills have been shown to have limited
absorbency rates and shots are painful and expensive.
|
Instead there is another very effective option for B12 supplementation
that costs far less than shots, is convenient and has far better absorbency
than pills.
It's Hydroxaden 2.5.
- http://www.bluerockholistics.com/product/hydroxaden.asp
Hydroxaden
2.5 is a simple to use Vitamin B12 spray that gives you the 2.5
mg of B12 (in the form of hydroxocobalamin) suggested by many nutrition
experts. Just five quick sprays under your tongue each day is all it
takes.
|
Sneaky Energy Sapper #6:
Stress
All of us have stress in our lives at one time or another, but sadly for
many people, it's
chronic.
In addition to taxing your adrenal glands like I mentioned above, one of the
biggest problems caused by consistently high levels of stress it that it harms
your gut flora, where
70% of your immune system happens to reside.
This makes you more susceptible to bacterial infections, viruses and
sicknesses of
all kinds--and when your body is desperately trying to
fight repeated cycles of illness, that leaves no energy left for YOU.
So if you find yourself getting one sickness after another and have
non-existent energy, it's time to start de-stressing.
How to fight back: Effective stress relievers include taking up a
hobby, adopting a pet, counseling with a skilled therapist, prayer, meditation,
aromatherapy, deep breathing, acupuncture, massage therapy and yoga.
Sneaky Energy Sapper #7:
Poor digestion
This is the Granddaddy of them all.
Nothing your body does demands more energy than
digestion.
So if yours is not going along so well, you can forget having anything that
even closely resembles a level of energy.
Now, the key to having good digestion is to
eat meals that your body can
easily digest and
make sure you have enough enzymes to do the job.
Unfortunately, the typical meals that most people eat could not be digested
efficiently even if their GI tract was as strong as the 1970’s Pittsburgh
Steelers defensive line!
And since their systems expend
lots of enzymes trying to break
down difficult meals like this, they can get to the point where their bodies
can't
produce enough enzymes anymore.
That leaves LOTS more energy for YOU!
If you’re suffering from a “personal energy crisis,” it’s time to turn that
around NOW!
When you take a look at all the ways your energy might be “rationed,” and
more importantly DO something about it, then you can see your energy crisis
come to an end FAST!
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Susan & her
husband are more energetic and sleeping better too!
Dear Sherry,
I'm fortunate that I found you early. For a number
of years I've experienced lower GI upsets and just thought it was a temporary
reaction to a particular food - although I couldn't see any particular item
that was setting me 'off' and presumed that eating out and travel meant picking
up some food bugs along the way.
When some pain began in my lower left abdomen
region this year, I mentioned it to my doctor. At age 61 she informed me I was
overdue for a colonoscopy - ugh! Voila – mild diverticular disease of the lower
left colon. Eat more fiber was the advice.
I hit the internet and got confused - then found
your website and ordered your Great Taste No Pain System. When I informed my
husband he wasn't happy about changing his habits, but since he's been on Losec
for almost 10 years for acid reflux, he was willing to try the system.
We have had huge changes happen for both of us.
Bloating is a thing of the past, my husband has dropped weight without any
effort, my digestive and elimination has become wonderfully normal - and so has
his.
He decided to try giving up the Losec and has had
no trouble with reflux/GERD at all – before if he would miss one day he was
miserable.
We're happy campers! It's been so easy and we're
especially enjoying tons of extra energy and better sleeping - great bonuses!
Thank you for the work you're doing - you're making
a wonderful difference in the world.
Blessings,
Susan
