Do you like Salt on your Food?
I can observe nutritional deficiencies by what a person
chooses to eat. One of the easiest
ones is observing whether a person likes salty foods and does he like to add
salt to his food.
What does this mean? A
deficiency of salt? No, it
indicates that your adrenal glands are not functioning as well as they should.
It is commonly called adrenal fatigue or adrenal exhaustion.
What are some other symptoms of adrenal fatigue besides
salt cravings – increased PMS symptoms, lack of energy, muscle weakness, fluid
retention mild constipation alternating with diarrhea – there are many others,
including the tendency to get the flu (as the adrenals are a major factor in
your immune system). There is also a feeling of being less able to handle
stress, mild depression and absent-mindedness.
The adrenal glands are two small
glands that sit over the kidneys. (Kidneys=renal; ad=above). They are
responsible for secreting over 50 different hormones They are responsible for
the regulation of the mineral metabolism (sodium, potassium, chloride), water
balance, metabolism (utilization and distribution of carbohydrates, protein, and
fat), allergic and immune reactions (such as hypersensitivity, allergies, and
autoimmune diseases), and production of the male and female hormones
(progesterone, testosterone, estrogens, DHEA, etc.).
You may have been experiencing
this condition for years. Although there is increasing physician awareness, many
are not familiar with adrenal fatigue as a distinct syndrome. Because of this
lack of knowledge, patients suffer because they are not properly diagnosed or
treated.
The onset of adrenal fatigue and
exhaustion can occur because of financial pressures, infections, emotional
stress, smoking, drugs, poor eating habits, sugar and white flour products,
unemployment and several other stressors. Stressors
are something that create either physical or mental stress)
After experiencing many of these
events over a long period of time, the adrenal glands tend to produce less
cortical, the body’s master stress hormone. The main role in the body is to
enable us to handle stress and maintain our immune systems. The adrenal
gland’s struggle to meet the need for high amounts of cortical production
eventually leading to the adrenal fatigue.
Another symptom is that some people
feel tired in the morning, feeling better at noon and then have a lull at about
2-4 PM. They tend to feel better at
6PM and feel they work better at night. Sometimes
they are exhausted at 9PM and in bed by 11 PM.
It is hard to test for a true
diagnosis of adrenal fatigue. Sometimes
you have to test the adrenals and the thyroid because they work together as does
all the glands.
It is important for patients to eat
regular meals, chew food well, and eat by 10 AM and again for lunch. Patients
should look to avoid any hydrogenated fats, caffeine, chocolate, white
carbohydrates (flour sugar, etc) and junk foods. Diets should have a heavy
emphasis on vegetables and protein. Sea
salt should be used instead of refined table salt.
Supplementation is also an important
component.

What are nutritional deficiencies and what do they do to your health?
Your hear it a lot these days, it "your genes". There are all these reports of finding out that there is a gene for this "disease" and one for that "disease".
Does it make you feel helpless? You're not in control, its pre-destined. Or is it? You are in control of your health. You just need to understand how a body works and what you CAN do for your health. That is why we have our site www.mcvitamins.com We want to educate you so you know what can be done.
Is it any surprise that there are so many cases of cancer these days. For 50 years, there have been research showing the things that cause cancer - smoking, chemicals, foods, etc. etc. etc. etc. Yet people surround themselves with these carcinogens.
What do these things cause - they cause nutritional deficiencies. You can read about them on our site. What is a nutritional defiiciency.
A deficiency is basically a nutrient that your body does not have enough of
to function properly.
What if you forgot to put enough oil in you car?
Despite the fact that it was getting the air, gas, functioning spark
plugs and good combustion, the car wouldn’t work properly.
Sure the piston would go up and down and the car would move forward –
just like normal. But soon the
engine might run a little hot. Down
in the engine different things might start happening.
The rings around the piston that stopped oil from getting up into the
combustion area might be giving way. The
normal straight camshaft might start to bend a little.
The engine just won’t work right. Perhaps the car will need a small
repair, or maybe a major overhaul – or ignored the engine will just seize up
and “die”.
It’s the same with your body – except that you can’t just buy another
engine and repairs made to a damaged body might not put things back together
again.
Let’s look at some of the many varied things that can happen when you
don’t put the needed nutrients into the body, and wind up with a deficiency.
Gingivitis is created when plague (sticky deposits of bacteria, mucus and
food particles) adheres to the teeth, hardens and irritates the gum. The
accumulation causes the gums to become infected and swollen. As the gums swell,
pockets form between the gums and the teeth and act as a trap for more plague.
Irritated gums bleed and eventually start to recede.
This irritation can be fought by introducing Vitamin C, which fights the
formation of plaque. Now
gingivitis, untreated, can progress to periodontal disease, which means loose
teeth and false teeth. Seems
like it would be easier just to get enough C.
C would have fought the formation of plaque to begin with.
Does that sound too easy? Remember
in the fast food lifestyle that we live in, we need a Vitamin C to fight the
many problems in that lifestyle – processed foods, polluted air, etc. You need enough so that your gums get enough.
Vitamin B12 comes from meat, eggs, fish and milk, but not everyone eats these
and they do not eat enough to fight the depletion that happens from day to day
living. Alcohol, coffee,
tobacco to name a few can also deplete the body of vitamin B12.
What happens when you have a deficiency of Vitamin B12?
It can bring about nerve degeneration.
Vitamin B12 supports the sheathing that protects nerve cells. Damage to
the nerve sheathing can produce numbness, tingling and the pain. It’s called
neuropathy. Neuropathy can be a
side effect of cancer treatments, certain medications, toxins, diabetes, and
many other things. And
the funny part about it is that all reasons one can get neuropathy could have
been prevented in the first place with the proper nutrients.
We have all heard the problems from someone smoking, but even if you smoke,
you can still take vitamins to compensate for the depletion of vitamins that it
causes.
There are a lot of problems that deficiency causes.
One of the reasons for the website is to help you understand those
deficiencies and allow you to fix nutritional deficiencies and build good
health.
Remember when you build good health, disease tends to fade away.
