Fuel for Thriving

Fuel for thriving…

How we fuel ourselves is the most important thing for mental and physical health and happiness. If we don’t fuel ourselves in the most natural way then what we end up doing is depleting ourselves instead. I know this sounds a bit extreme, but is what is happening to our electrons (essential for all life) if we choose unnatural ways of ‘fuelling’ over natural ways.

By fuelling I don’t just mean food. I mean water, air, earth and light too.

When fuelled in the most natural way the body is ‘designed’ to thrive, it builds up electron stores, it regulates body clocks/cycles (which includes hormones/sleep/metabolism etc) and improves energy, digestion, mood and so much more.

When fuelled in an unnatural way we deplete all these things and more. We cause inflammation, , dis-ease and basically we struggle. We just about survive, but we won’t be able to thrive.

We are becoming more and more removed from our animal side, this is why we become so unwell. We sit in boxes, staring at screens and eating food from containers cooked in microwaves and then wonder why we are unwell. All these things (and many more) deplete us of essential electrons and screw up our internal clocks/cycles like the circadian rhythm.

Whatever we do to regulate or circadian rhythm also builds electrons. So this is a nice, simple, free and easy when to improve health on every level.

We are ‘designed’ to live in nature, sleep on the ground, eat real protein rich/fatty food, sleep when it’s dark and generally be around nature 24/7. Yet for many of us we are not even around/connected to nature for 1 hour per day, let alone 24hrs.

What helps build electrons/regulate circadian rhythm?

• Wake when it gets light and get sunrise in the eyes (not looking at screens before this)
• Eating naturally – plenty of animals fats and proteins
• Eating seasonal and local vegetables. Turmeric for instance, is known as a powerful anti-inflammatory, yet for people consuming it all year around and also if it’s not from their area it could actually be causing inflammation.
• Drinking good quality clean and mineralised water
• Getting your skin in contact with the earth
• Getting the sun/daylight on your skin around noon each day
• Getting the sun in your eyes and on your skin at sunset
• Not eating to far after dark
• Going to sleep as close to sunset as possible
• If we are in front of a screen a lot always wearing blue-light blocking glasses (clear or yellow earlier in the day and orange or red in the evenings) & covering up our neck (where our thyroid is)
• If we have LED lights in our home then always wearing blue-light blocking glasses when these lights are on.

Basically living naturally regulates our circadian rhythm and builds up our essential electrons and living unnaturally does the opposite. So, we do what we can with what we have. If you cannot get outside then can you go to a window and stick your face outside at sunrise and sunset? If you are too tired to get up at sunrise can you set an alarm, get outside and then go back to bed (until things start to shift for you and you naturally wake early again)?

We focus on what we can do where we are and with what we have and not on all the things we cannot do. Every little helps!
