Blood Sugar: Hypoglycemia and Insulin Resistance
Chiropractic adjustments just don't work well with patients who have low blood sugar during a treatment.
Studying for exams is fruitless when the student has low blood sugar.
Mood swings are guaranteed when an individual has low blood sugar.
An athlete will never finish a race, let alone win one, with low blood sugar.
The brain's primary source of fuel is glucose. Glucose passes from our meals into our blood stream and to the brain where the brain cells are bathed in it.
Face it, brains deteriorate. This is a fact of life. Over time, the brain's initial growth period transforms into a neuronal death cascade. The rate of nerve cell death is predicated on the unalterable fact of aging tissue plus the stimuli that accelerate that rate. Accelerators include stress, dietary indiscretion, dietary bad fats, low oxygen from anemia, low blood sugar, disease, inflammation, infection, exogenous compounds (environmental toxins) and others. Most of the previous list is manageable.
Blood sugar and blood oxygen are critical for brain function, brain health and brain anti-aging.
Focusing on the blood sugar will optimize the brain's ability to do it's job: function! And this is how we will know:
A regular blood panel with HA1C included will indicate if a person is hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), insulin resistant/pre-diabetic (glucose not entering the cell), or hyperglycemic (diabetic). Glucose and HA1C cost $34 to run at LabCorp with a doctor's requisition form from Dr. Doreo. Additionally, a complete blood count with red blood cells and white blood cells to scan for anemia and infection is $12. Why not find out how you are doing, really?
Here is a list of check items to consider for overall brain wellbeing:
Choose foods that are fresh and not packaged or pre-cooked. Get oxygen to the brain through exercise and healthy blood. Replace bad fats in the brain by consuming good dietary fats over three months' time. Balance blood sugar with healthy food choices consumed at regular 3-5 hour intervals. Detoxify with a healthy diet or metabolic detoxification program monitored by Dr. Doreo. Find out if exposure to chemicals or metals has burdened the system with a simple urinary toxic metals test. Get the toxins out of your home - use Shaklee cleaning products or other trusted "green" manufacturers.
