Understanding Your Body
The human body is an amazingly complex thing. Biologically, we’re
designed to run efficiently by ingesting nutritious foods that give us
the energy to exert ourselves physically, but also to fuel the neurons
that fire within our brains.
Our brains are hundreds of times more complex than the most
advanced computers on the planet. A brain is capable of keeping your
body running on unconscious actions, such as breathing, or keeping
your heart pumping, but it’s also capable of releasing various
hormones that help us to cope with everything we face during the day.
Your own body will release certain hormones to let you know its
tired, different hormones when it’s time to wake up, more hormones
when you’re feeling happy and different ones again when you’re
stressed or upset.
That’s not even counting the myriad of hormones, enzymes and other
goodies your brain releases to tell your body it’s the optimum time to
release an egg from one of your ovaries at the right time for your
body to conceive.
So what happens when those hormones aren’t released at the right
time or in the right amounts?
In most cases, people tend to visit their doctor and come home with a
prescription for drugs to help regulate those hormones. What they
don’t know is those chemical cocktails can sometimes cause other
issues with the smooth functioning of your body, even while they
might be addressing the initial problem you sought to fix.
