Why Live 2.6

2.6 Vitamins are Self Love

Unless you live in lands enriched naturally, chances are good that the food you can buy is depleted of nutrients.

Oh sure, it will look delicious and probably taste very sugary. But the nutritional content will be low.

Humans are evolved to survive. If you are in a modern city then chances are that you are told to constantly be eating.

You snack in between meals and then add on appetizers and desserts. You watch TV or read a book with a high calorie drink. 

In fact, some of you don’t even let your Worm Brain rest overnight because you shuffle over to the fridge for a late night munchie.

I always suggest people take some tests to discover their blood type, their current vitamin levels, and their family history. We are living in the information age so use that to your advantage. 

Do you even know how many vitamins the human body needs?

Do you know their roles in the body processes?

If you don’t know how your body works then how can you get upset when it breaks down? 

And once it does start to become off-balanced there are plenty of industries eager and willing to take all your money then still not educate you about your nutritional needs.

It is your choice what you do with your life and staying controlled is the easiest choice that leads to the hardest life.

You’ll have excuses come up, we all do. It’s not fun to read nutritional journals, read them anyways. It’s emotionally unrewarded to try to keep with a new group workout, do what you can just keep moving. It’s embarrassing to tell people at holidays that you won’t eat the treats they have prepared, don’t consume anything that hurts your Worm Brain.

Start small.

For me it was Vitamin A. I learned about its role in the body while researching hair production. You see, I’ve always had thin hair that comes out by the handful a day when I brush. Growing up it happened to everyone else in my home so I just assumed that was genetic. Turns out my life long diet had lead to a deficiency in my body’s ability to synthesis proteins efficiently.

So I started with a tiny pill a day.

That’s all it takes. A little self education and then a little habit change.

Stay consistent with it and you will feel the results.

This isn’t about trying to lose weight or gain muscle or look a certain way.

This is about mental clarity, being able to sleep throughout the night for deep repair, having steady levels of energy, and quality of life.

Focus on the health and your best looks will emerge so don’t focus on it. Pay attention to your food sources and learn how your body actually works.

I know you’ll want to quit, especially in the beginning with only a vague faith to keep you going.

And it’s one of those things in life where if you never experience it then you’ll never fully understand it.

Being a young girl, of course I heard about babies and childbirth. But until I experienced it for myself I really had no grasp of what a change the body goes through.

I had heard of intermittent fasting but until I actually made it a practice in my life, I had no clue how “foggy" my brain had gotten. The first week was especially challenging because I was very out of balanced. But the 2nd week I noticed my vision wasn’t getting blurry in the evenings anymore. By the next month, my mental clarity was so focused that old projects that I’d been putting off now seemed like joyful games that I couldn’t wait to get back into.

I made small changes, adjusted. Then re-evaluated. If needed, made another small change and adjusted.

This doesn’t have to be a great show of effort. Just a start with a vitamin.
