STAYING BALANCED IN YOUR BODY ELECTROLYTES LEVELS

Have you ever wondered if the saving tip for people with diarrhea or vomiting is to drink more fluids?

Have you ever asked why your nutritionist says to take fresh fruit juices rather than additives-packed juice?

Ever wondered why persons who have high sweating rates are advised to drink adequate fluids?

If you have ever asked or never wondered why? I got great news for you; In today's Tuesday tips, I will share with you what body electrolytes are? And why you must stay full of it.


WHAT ARE BODY ELECTROLYTES?


Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals and compounds that help your body do much of its work.

We get them from what we eat and drink, including sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, etc.

Their balance in the body is controlled mainly by hormones manufactured in the kidney and the adrenal glands.


WHY STAY FULL OF BODY ELECTROLYTES


1. They oversee your body's energy production and muscle contraction.

2. Transmission of nerve signals from heart, muscle, and nerve cells to other body cells.

3. They stimulate the thirst mechanism to make you drink more fluids when the body dehydrates.

4. Keep the pH (acid/alkaline) of your blood in the normal range

5. They regulate the fluid levels in your blood plasma and body, as the body is made of about 70% fluid.

6. They facilitate blood clotting in hemorrhage and serve as a building block for cell tissues.


WELLNESS CUES

Electrolyte levels can be measured in blood tests, and their stories must stay within a balanced range. Too much or too little of these electrolytes can cause grave health conditions (Heart failure, Kidney disease, Eating&Sleep disorders, Liver cirrhosis, Thyroid disease, etc.)

Cells malfunctioning symptoms include Lethargy, Numbness, Confusion, Cramps, Weakness, Swelling, Coma, High blood pressure, constipation, etc.

Here are TIPS for you to STAY BALANCED

1. Drink up and stay hydrated.

2. Eat foods rich in electrolytes, e.g., spinach, turkey, potatoes, beans, avocados, oranges, soybeans, strawberries, and bananas.

3. Cut down on consuming refined foods high in sodium, whose high intake poses a threat to your health.

4. Quit Alcoholism and smoking

5. Reduce your intake of green tea, as it is a diuretic (a substance that causes you to urinate more frequently), and increase the washing out of your body's electrolytes.

6. Avoid abusing medications such as steroids, diuretics, and laxatives.

7. Depending on your electrolyte disorder, consult your healthcare provider on the proper medications or supplements.


You have received clarity on the need to stay full and balanced of your body electrolytes, do have a refreshing night's rest.

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance  In social sciences, we were made to understand that man's needs are insatiable. True as it may be, it doesn't stop us from utilizing the gift of life and our daily going forth in search of ways to fill these needs! Year 2018 has started in its majestic regalia, you might have taken time out to write out your yearly goals & dreams, taking action steps towards them every day and prioritizing your immediate wants & needs........good! good! good. I have learned that: Man's life is based on Beliefs upon which he builds his faith; our Needs lay the bedrock on which our Beliefs are built. Despite being aware of the truth that all men will someday pass on to the great beyond and be free of this cycle, many still live a carefree life in the present! with a vain sense of relief and reassurance that the pleasures of now and tempting joys from the imagination of the future will bring them to satisfy all their desires and need...

THRIVE BY LEARNING IN DISCIPLINE

Months ago, I bore on to be trained by a successful senior colleague. As an oldie, I sometimes am tempted to skip training by telling myself that I know and have done these things before. After a month, I realized newbies were delivering results I had yet to have. I mustered courage and went to meet my trainer! to access me. IToas confident he would give me the needed spanking and motivational alignment, but lo😭, he said_ hosanna be more disciplined. It took me weeks to readjust, humble myself, and start doing what was needed to cause a shift in my mental attitude; the results I got were changing for the better.

Learn to watch, talk less & do more than average. 2. HUMILITY: This will take you to places and help you learn from nobody and everybody to be Somebody. 3. DISCIPLINE: without this, no man can be trul...

The book is a must-read if you seek to achieve success in your personal life and business. It comprises 23 Chapters built around a discipline called the "10X Rule; which is about pure domination mentality.
