Did you know Inflammation triggers Alzheimer’s disease, Cancer and other chronic illnesses?
I requested blood work today in order to assess the inflammation in my body.
Two markers:
a) C-Reactive Protein must be <1, and
b) Homocysteine must be <7,
Lastly, Toxic load must be reduced. To assess the body’s toxic load: a comprehensive ToxTest is recommended I have not asked for the ToxTest yet. We will be focusing on the gut and body’s inflammation in my next bloodwork.
One step at a time.
There are several stressors that have an adverse impact on our internal homeostasis. When we lose our balance, our bodies suffer and become vulnerable to disease(s).
After prolonged time of distress, my dysregulated body started to show signs and symptoms of a chronic illness … inflammation at a cellular level must be addressed.
Stressors may include poor sleep, mental stress, water pollutants, processed foods, sedentary lifestyle and environmental toxins to just name a few. I would also add ‘chronic stress’ at work.
It is definitely a ‘juggling act’ when maintaining a healthy lifestyle!
The reason as to why I asked the medical provider to assess the level of inflammation in my body was the weight retention I noticed after making drastic lifestyle changes.
The gradual weigh loss was quite disheartening.
I had reduced the calorie intake per day, maintained a low carb/gluten-free and high fiber diet. No sugar or dairy — I learned ‘how to’ maintain a clean diet in the last three months. I excluded processed food and fast food. I increased daily movement and hydration. Yet, I was only losing 1-2 lbs. a month! This is weight retention and is quite common among those who suffer from Hashimoto, an autoimmune condition.
