Stress is defined as change that is seen by your body or mind as a
threat – large or small, imaginary or real – or a change in your
environment that triggers a rapid use of your reserves. Stress creates
a demand on your resources. Soon, these resources become exhausted and
you get sick.
Distress can come from your environment, your body or your mind.
Rather than being just a single event, stress accumulates over time
from all three sources. It strangles the joy and pleasure from your
days and nights. It makes you miserable, and then it makes you sick.
Once you are sick, stress keeps you from responding as well to medical
care. Yes, stress is a killer!
Nutrients to the rescue
The opposite of stress is homeostasis. So, while stress is
constantly trying to pull you apart, homeostasis is constantly working
to put you back together. Homeostasis is the priority process your body
uses to combat stress.
Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are essential for
homeostasis. If we have the nutrients we need at the moment we need
them, we will thrive! Conversely, if we do not have the proper nutrient
base in our system every day we will suffer loss of energy, poor mental
performance and an increased risk for disease.
Supplements
The word supplement means an addition to something to make up for a
deficiency. All supplements are an important addition to a healthy
diet. They make up for the deficiency we face because of poor nutrient
density in our foods. They also help out when we miss the mark of diet
perfection.
Supplements are no substitute for good dietary choices. We simply
must commit ourselves to eating a healthy diet. As you review your food
choices for the past week, ask yourself, “Did I eat the right amount of
fruits and vegetables every day?”
* 5 servings for children
* 7 servings for women
* 9 servings for men
If you can say “yes” – congratulations! If you are like most people
you did not reach that goal. And, if you are like most of us, you did
not eat all of your fruits and vegetables from an organic source; so,
the fruits and vegetables may have been of low nutrient value.
We need a multiple nutrient supplement every day to serve as a
foundation for health and to combat the nutrient demands of a stressful
life.
A new supplement
Staying on top of our nutrient reserve is important. Our body makes
millions of new cells every day – heart cells, brain cells, bone and
blood cells. Stress kills millions of vulnerable cells every day. Every
time a cell dies it should be replaced. If you do not have the right
amount of nutrients to construct a new cell, you will either make an
incomplete cell or none at all. The outcome is bad in either case; so,
we really need to keep all nutrients on board at all times. This is why
we created Sonoran Bloom™ Wellavoh™ (wel-lah voh), a new multi-nutrient
complex for men and women.
The destructive forces of stress come from inside and outside your
body. The nutrient complexes of Wellavoh can help you build a bulwark
against stress as it tries to pull you apart. Wellavoh supports
homeostasis as the innate wisdom of your body tries to keep you
functioning at your peak.
One more reason…
Perhaps an even more important reason exists for maintaining a
robust supply of nutrients in our system daily. According to a recent
report, chemical switches on our DNA are activated by nutrients. If a
single nutrient is missing at the critical moment it is needed, one of
these chemical switches will fail. This results in a change in our DNA
that promotes disease – for up to three generations of our children!
So, it is vital that we and our children have our nutrients available
every day to reduce the impact of stress while promoting vitality
today, health tomorrow and a solid wellness foundation for generations
to come!
