Did you know that your body is self-healing?
Your body is a walking pharmacy. The food that you eat can either help or harm your body. The good news…your body can create custom made medicine, made EXACTLY for YOUR BODY in the right amount, without harmful side effects! Amazing, isn’t it?
We have all heard that eating right and exercising is good for you. We know this, right? The truth of it is that you need to do these things to engage your internal pharmacy. It’s all part of your body’s own endocrine system. The metabolically active cells in the endothelium release chemical messengers that help maintain the blood vessel’s health and works with other parts of the body to rebuild and repair.
Sounds amazing, right? Indeed, it does. This science was discovered and proven by Dr. Louis Ignarro, PhD who discovered that a healthy endothelium, a part of the endocrine system releases a chemical called nitric oxide, that helps the body to create the exact amount of medicine that the body needs. He won the Nobel prize for this discovery.
How can a nitric oxide released by the endothelium help you? How about by helping some of the most common problems facing many adults, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In addition, nitric oxide released by the endothelium can help relieve the body’s pain, inflammation, depression symptoms and help regulate blood clotting and flow.
So, what can you do today to engage your healthy endothelium? Begin by getting some exercise. Start with a walk, any little bit counts. Get off the couch and move your body, plain and simple. Also, dump the junk food and sugar. Junk food and sugar, in addition to a sedentary body, will literally keep your internal pharmacy closed. So, your doctor was correct, eat right and exercise to create your own optimal health. Start today!
