Weight Control and Your Psyche

Weight Control and Your Psyche

 

Losing and keeping weight within normal limits is more difficult for some people than healing from a major illness. Food has a psychological control for a variety of reasons. Mother’s cooking always tops the list. However, very few kids were actually forced to eat unhealthy foods. If weight is a problem in your adult life, approach weight loss as an adult.

 

Portion control is a key to any diet. It helps to balance the insulin response. When blood sugar is imbalanced, a feeling of gnawing hunger causes overeating and leaves the feeling of not being satisfied. Low stress vegetables, also low in calories, whole grains and bulking agents taken before or after a meal signal the brain to stop eating.

 

Weight is an aromahealthtexas aromatic, topical aid to balance blood sugar and balance the endocrines.

 

Compulsive eating is associates with obsessive compulsive behavior. It is associated with low serotonin levels and/or lack of receptors to produce neuro-chemicals to quiet desires. Stress eating is often described as a reason for non-stop eating. Cravings is an aromahealthtexas aid for reducing compulsive eating. Knotted Marjoram Petite Fleur Essence aids obsessive compulsive behavior.

 

Stress also affects thyroid/adrenal response. Lower metabolism reduces proper digestion, energy and may result in weight gain. Toxic Thyroid is an aromahealthtexas topical product to protect thyroid function and lessen the effect of pollutants that reduce proper function. Those who prefer sweets have a propensity to thyroid stress.

 

Those who prefer fats, alcohol and creamy foods have an endocrine imbalance that involves the pituitary. This is a master endocrine gland in the brain, lodged behind the nose. Cherokee Rose is a Petite Fleur Essence antique rose that promotes endocrine balance affecting the pituitary and subsequently the liver functions involving cholesterol and essential fatty acids and phosphatydlcholine to produce sufficient neuro-chemicals.

 

Emotions are neuro-chemicals produced in the limbic brain. They limbic brain stores memories and data about everything you have learned. These memories are associated with natural scent. Aromatherapy, from distilled organically grown aromatic plants, has the ability to affect brain chemistry in 1/100th of a second. Nothing affects us so quickly.

 

Essential oils and flower essences support the psychological demands of the personality. The stress behind overeating and choosing the wrong foods must be successfully addressed. Having a success consciousness about everything you do supports healthy weight loss and management.

 

Self Image aromahealthtexas supports self improvement and a deep feeling of self satisfaction in everything you achieve. 

 

Pink Rose and Country Marilou antique roses help us to think thin and release uncomfortable feelings about the body.

 

Various forms of abuse during childhood and as an adult can also lead to weight gain that is very hard to control. Underlying anger is soothed by the Abate Anger aromahealthtexas blend. Japanese Magnolia Petite Fleur Essence releases feelings of being victimized.

 

There are many healthy diet plans to support weight loss and maintenance. There are over 150 Aromahealthtexas Blends and Petite Fleur Essences to support psychological triggers and promote peace of mind. Books include Slice of Life Nutrition and Diet Handbook, How to Master Special Diets and Flowers that Heal.

Vitamin D Information

Recent Vitamin D Recommendations

 

Three of every four Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D daily recommendations have modestly increased to 600 IU and 800 IU daily for elder care. Much higher doses are recommended by researchers, up to 5,000 IU daily. There are no adverse side effects known up to 4,000 IU daily for adults.

 

Vitamin D is known to reduce risk of cancer, osteoporosis and bone disease, asthma, infectious diseases, strokes, tuberculosis, type I and type II diabetes, depression, insomnia, joint pain and muscle weakness, fibromyalgea, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, PMS, hypertension and multiple sclerosis, dementia, Alzheimers, and Crohn’s.

 

Overweight people have lower levels of vitamin D because excess fat binds vitamin D.

 

Circulating vitamin D3 can be tested by serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D, activated by the kidneys.

 

Aromahealthtexas offers a pharmaceutical vitamin D3 1000 supplement for your greatest health.

Gastro-Intestinal

Gastro-Intestinal

Gastrointestinal problems are almost as prevalent as backaches. Digestive complaints, acid reflux, irritable bowel, spasticity and intestinal inflammation adversely affect the majority of the population. There are more over-the-counter remedies for intestinal complaints than any other problem. Subclinical and hypothyroidism reduces gut motility and often are undiagnosed. The causes of digestive complaints are as various as the over-the-counter medications. Food sensitivity can cause multiple symptoms, although food allergy is ruled out. Colors, additives, pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers can also cause digestive reactions.

The intestinal tract is a 30 foot organ, containing large amounts of lymph tissue. At least 70% of immune responses initiate from intestinal health. Fuel for all bodily processes begin in the stomach and intestines.

Intestinal mobility is initiated by the thyroid. Those with subclinical or hypothyroidism may havechronic constipation. Slower metabolism adversely affects digestion and assimilation. Every function of the body cannot reach its potential. Hyperthyroid may result in lower bone density and poor mineralization in every cell. The body slowly starves for energy. A large percentage of women have hypothyroid by age 50. Low thyroid is responsible for heart attacks in men and women.

Essences can catalyze the body to reach its greatest potential as well as reduce symptoms. Diet and lifestyle changes are necessary and sometimes medications. Abate Anger blend reduces inflammation from the esophagus to the colon. This blend helps people who suffer from inflammatory bowel and Crohns. Stomach and abdominal pain of any origin is best soothed with the Abate Anger blend. It can be topically sprayed or applied on the abdomen or the neck, wrist or throat. Reapply every 30 minutes until tension and pain lessen. Otherwise three times daily is recommended. Blends applied daily support the body’s innate healing and produce the best results.

Inner Strength  is a blend that supports inherent immunity. It enhances digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats and supports lymphatic drainage to remove toxins.

Lymph Flow lotion is excellent support for the lymph tissues and organs, such as the appendix. Massage onto the stomach 3 times daily to promote peristalsis (bowel muscle movement) and lymphatic detoxification. Lymph Flow is a stimulating, energizing lotion.

Intestinal tissue can be or become hypersensitive to foods and beverages at anytime.  blend, applied 3 times daily is best suited for this condition. For best results, alternate Abate Anger 3 times daily to reduce histamine and inflammatory reactions.

Thyroid health is also indicated for intestinal motility and constipation. The Toxic Thyroid blend helps normalize the thyroid, the body’s energizer. It is the metabolism of this organ function that supports digestion and assimilation of food and energizes organ function. The thyroid is vulnerable to environmental and chemical toxins, as well as physical stress. Toxic Thyroid supports the proper regeneration and function of the organ and subsequently intestinal functions. It is an important part of weight management and will be described further in the Weight Section.

Scarring in any area of the intestinal tract is best helped with Regenerate and Recovery blends. Each may be applied 3 times daily on site or any clean, unbroken skin.

Hiatel hernia and hernias are helped by the Abate Anger blend. Hernias may require surgery or medical supervision. If surgery is necessary, use the Recovery blend to reduce scarring and encourage healing
