Balanced Diet - Cure Illnesses

Imbalanced Diets have undesirable side effects:

Imbalanced diets, lacking in certain nutrients, often have consequences that are evident through symptoms and diseases that develop in the body. We may temporarily need to resort to a special diet to restore balance and get rid of unwanted symptoms. For example, when there is excessive water in the system, we may require a low- salt diet to correct it. But we must carefully limit the length of time such diets are used or the body will shift into a different but undesirable and imbalanced condition. It is best to work with a nutritionist or doctor who knows foods in order to take care of chemical deficiency symptoms.

Therefore, I believe it is of high importance to focus on which foods should we eat, when to eat them and when to stop.

In order to follow the following diets we must ask our doctor or check through a blood test our deficiencies and body needs.

The following options are meant to be taken in consideration, only if you know your own deficiencies or over consumptions in order to reach a balance.

When low- Salt, dry Foods are needed:

When we have used beverages and salt- Containing food to excess, tissues react by swelling with water (Edema) . Edema may result from deficiencies of protein, thiamine, and / or vitamin B6. It also can be caused by kidney problems, congestive heart failure, pregnancy, standing too long, muscle injury, oral contraceptives, allergies, or premenstrual tension, among other causes. To diagnose the cause, your doctor first makes sure that all of the previous described medical conditions are ruled out, physical causes are checked prescription drugs are considered for side effects, allergic reactions and premenstrual tension are discussed, and deficiencies are taken care of.

The following symptoms can indicate the need for a low – salt, dry food diet:

Other Symptoms:

The significance of water in the diet

Water us abundantly present in secretions, blood , serum , lymph, and all body organs, glands, and tissues. It prevents inflammation , promotes osmosis, and moistens lungs surfaces for gas diffusion. It helps to regulate body temperature, irrigates the cells and organs, and is an almost universal solvent. Water promotes all the functions of elimination. Nerves must be bather in moisture. Without adequate water content , the blood cannot flow, waste matter wont be eliminated from the body ,and many chemical processes will be disrupted. But an excess of water in the body causes pressure on and enlargement of all organs.

Normally, the water content of the body is regulated by the Kidneys, Coordinated by a brain center that releases more or less of a certain hormone that helps regulate how much water the body keeps and how much it lets go. Edema often signals Kidney or hormonal problems, which can be helped by herbs, such as KB-11, and supportive nutrition. But because Edema may have many causes, you should see a doctor who understands nutrition and herbs, or a good nutritionist.

When Watery food are needed

A watery diet is helpful when we are bothered by such ailments as:

-Arthritis

-Constipation

-Crampy tendons

-Difficult urination

-Dry Catarrh

-Dry Skin

-Emaciation

-Lack of perspiration

-Rheumatism

-Rough, dry throat

Sports drinks like Gatorade are big moneymakers these days, but Consumer Reports has reported that water is just as effective as Gatorade, unless exercise goes over an hour and a half.

The following are our highest water- Containing foods. A diet using many such foods is needed when certain conditions prevail, as I will soon explain.

Greens are the best food for the bowel because they contain chlorophyll , which is nature's best cleanser; betacarotene, which is a natural cancer preventive; and fiber, which gives bowel something to push against. When buying greens, look for fresh leaves with no ip burn, yellowing or dark sports. Whey , either liquid of dried, also feeds the beneficial bowel flora.
