The journey towards metabolic health is not just a pathway to an improved waistline; it is integral to sustaining overall health. Your pursuit of good metabolic health is indeed the pursuit of a healthier, happier you… so, here’s to taking the first step towards optimal health! Metabolism – it’s a word we often associate with weight loss and energy. However, it implies far more than that. Metabolic health hinges on several determinants: blood sugar levels, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), & blood pressure.
Maintaining Your Metabolism
Regular Exercise — Exercise isn’t just for those trying to lose weight. Both aerobic & resistance exercises (weightlifting) have a pivotal role in metabolic health. Regular movement helps burn off extra glucose, keeps the heart healthy, builds muscle mass and improves metabolic efficiency.
Mindful Eating — A balanced, nutrient-rich diet fuels metabolic function. Consuming lean proteins, healthy fats, abundant fruits and vegetables, and reducing processed foods all contribute to better metabolism.
Quality Sleep — The conventional wisdom of needing a good night’s sleep extends beyond feeling fresh. An optimal sleep routine keeps your metabolic processes in sync. Metabolic health suffers from sleep deprivation, potentially leading to weight gain and risk of metabolic disorders.
Foods to Incorporate
Whole, Unprocessed Foods — These foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber in their most natural state. They’re more nutrient-dense and easier for the body to digest, resulting in better overall health and metabolic function.
Lean Protein — Including salmon, chicken, and turkey, these proteins are low in saturated fats and high in essential amino acids. They help build and repair muscle tissue while promoting satiety.
Complex Carbohydrates — Brown rice, sweet potatoes, and vegetables are less likely to cause blood sugar spikes as they are digested slowly, keeping you full for longer periods.
Good Fats — Foods such as avocados, olive oil, and nuts are a source of healthy fats, which help and promote satiety, thus aiding weight management.
Fiber-Rich Foods — Such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, fiber assists in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, keeping you full longer, and promoting healthy digestion.
Stress MAXX
When stress is induced, cortisol is released, which can meddle with these metabolic processes — this can pave the way for several health issues. Cortisol triggers the release of glucose to provide the energy necessary to respond to stress. However, chronic stress implies a continuous influx of cortisol, causing prolonged high blood glucose levels. Chronic stress can also heavily influence body weight, deteriorate your immune system, and put your cardiovascular system at risk. Stress MAXX is designed to combat the stressors and demands of life and help restore your body to homeostasis, which will help boost your metabolic health, too!
Foods to Avoid
Artificial Additives — These substances can disrupt our metabolic processes and contribute to weight gain, inflammation, and other chronic health issues.
Processed Foods — Highly processed foods usually contain unhealthy fats, sugars, and additives that can negatively impact metabolism and overall health.
Sugar — Refined sugars can lead to rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes, meaning increased hunger, cravings, and ultimately weight gain.
Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments
The relationship between chiropractic care and metabolism is tied to the nervous system. The nervous system serves as the body’s control panel, directing signals from the brain to countless cells, tissues, and organs. The metabolism, a set of complex chemical processes responsible for transforming food into energy, is one of the many bodily systems regulated by this complex neural network.
Spinal misalignments (subluxations) can lead to nerve interference, impeding the superior communication needed for optimal metabolic function. Consequently, your body may struggle efficiently to convert nutrients into energy, disrupt hormone balance, or cause improper waste elimination. Chiropractic adjustments help rectify these subluxations, reinstating optimal neural communications, leading to improved metabolic functions. Correcting these misalignments can restore hormonal equilibrium, everything from stress response and appetite control to sleep and mood, ultimately leading to overall metabolism improvement.
