Ask any pain sufferer: pain is real. If pain is your constant companion or the companion of someone you love… this one's for you. "Fibromyalgia" - the "catch-all" diagnosis for unexplained pain - is nearly an epidemic today, especially with women over 40. We have identified 8 major potential triggers that may contribute to body aches and pain. Correcting these areas may alleviate or even eliminate your pain. 1. Proper water intake Water increases energy flows in the body and really promotes detoxification, which is a key element for becoming pain free. Your correct water formula is: 2 quarts water plus 8 ounces for every 25 pounds that you need to lose. 2. Daily exercise Exercise, even as little as 20 minutes or so of exercise like walking or yoga, with its emphasis on deep nose breathing, is especially specific for Fibromyalgia, will release endorphins, which are natural pain killers. 3. Moving the body pH toward alkalinity An acid body condition results in chronic pain. Eating a lot more vegetables and fruits while reducing carbohydrate and protein intake, can be a key way to become more alkaline thus reducing cancer and other chronic "illness" risks. 4. Get rid of unwanted parasites. Work on the flora balance of the body to reduce the presence of unwanted microscopic parasites, which all have their own elimination cycles. These internal microorganisms can be responsible for a whole host of pain and illness issues. 5. Reduce or eliminate toxic metals from the body Every time you drink beverages or eat foods from cans . . . every time you use batteries . . . every time you apply your antiperspirant (if it has aluminum chlorohydrate with it, as most of them do) . . . even every time you chew something, if you have silver amalgam fillings in your teeth, you are possibly aggravating your pain problems. 6. Increasing oxygenation to the affected areas Broken down to simplistic terms, pain indicates a lack of proper oxygenation, plain and simple. Certain products and exercises can be especially helpful for oxygenation. 7.Eliminate toxins Toxins in your body often aggravate pain. Chronic constipation, for example, may be triggering back pain for you. Cleansing your liver and colon can remove these dangerous toxins. 8. Reduce gas Believe it or not, it could be a healthy thing when people pass gas. We all make pounds of gas each day in the digestive process. If gas builds up, it can compress to the size of a pinhead and has the potential to transfer pain anywhere, even to the neck and shoulders. 8 Keys to becoming and remaining pain-free: 1. Drink more water 2. Exercise daily 3. Become alkaline in pH 4. Eliminate harmful parasites 5. Reduce or eliminate toxic metal exposure 6. Oxygenate better 7. Eliminate toxins 8. Reduce gas For more detailed information and our recommendations for all-natural, botanical help in kicking back into a weight loss mode, contact our office for a customized report to obtain even faster results.
