Stress and the nervous system are so intricately tied in that when you talk about one you are talking about the other whether you realise it or not. The nervous system can be thought of as being similar to the electrical wiring system in your house. There is one big power source coming in to your house and then all kinds of divisions into smaller wires that go to your various appliances and power points. If you get power interruption to the main source everything is affected and nothing works properly. The brain is the main power source and the nerves in your body are the equivalent to the wires in your house. You need a healthy functioning nervous system and if it ceases to function properly you will have "short circuits" occurring in your body that you most certainly do not want. Stress affects your nervous system and you need to proactively manage your stress to be healthy.
There are many parts of the nervous system, but the part we need to understand, from the stress perspective, is what's called the autonomic nervous system. It is defined as the part of the nervous system responsible for controlling the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and the digestive processes. These are obviously pretty vital functions!
Why Is Retesting So Important On A Nutritional Balancing Program?
Friday, 30 June 2017 11:00
Every 3 to 6 months you will need to be retesting your hair when you are on a nutritional balancing program. WHY? There are many reasons and Dr Wilson writes "the main one is that a properly designed nutritional balancing program will slowly uncover and expose deeper layers of biochemical imbalances, toxic metals, toxic chemicals, chronic infections and nutrient deficiencies to be resolved and eliminated. Thus, when one follows this program, each retest brings up a new layer of imbalances that needs to be addressed with the healing program." There are others though and I think it would be helpful to look at them.

Top 6 Near Infrared Sauna Diabetic "Life Hacks" You Need To Know For Better Control
According to Diabetes Australia's website, diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century and is the biggest problem confronting our health system. The statistics indicate that there are up to 1.7 million people with diabetes and about 280 Australians develop it daily. No matter what statistic you look at or use it's a big, and growing, problem. While the cause is generally not known, we do know that it's associated with modifiable lifestyle risk factors and these are a critical part to successfully addressing Type 2 diabetes.
There is a concept called the minimum effective dose that is very relevant when addressing these modifiable lifestyle risk factors. The minimum effective dose is defined as the smallest dose that will produce a desired outcome. Now straight up I'll say that I'm not advocating laziness, far from it. What I'm saying is we need to work smarter and recognize what the minimum effort is for the desired outcome. Part of the reason for this is simply human nature. Most diabetics know what they need to do, but their compliance with it is poor. We all know we should eat well and exercise, but all too often those that need to the most don't do it.
So are there "diabetic life hacks" out there that help us to get the outcome we want in the easiest most effective way?
