As to where we are at this stage of the view of health in the modern world, some may be living under the precept that chronic diseases and ill health are just a part of the name of the game and that it is ultimately unavoidable. But what practitioners are seeing and coming to understand is the fact that we can get ahead of metabolic disease factors and that we can affect our own health outcomes, even if it is within certain limits.
To get a solid understanding of the topic though, you need to have an understanding of what metabolic diseases are. Metabolic diseases are mostly the results of a syndrome that can represent illnesses related to high blood pressure, triglyceride spikes, obesity, elevated blood sugar and signs of pre-forming cancers. This situation greatly represents a vast majority of experiences that people are going through here in the United States. But at their core, many of these metabolic factors can form due to lifestyle and social situations and disruptions and with the right attention and care: can be tended to and fixed if caught early enough.
Through lifestyle changes and target nutrition and herbal regimens, people can begin to turn the pages on metabolic diseases before they fully manifest. In Naturopathic circles, we are seeing some promising metabolic disruptors that can address metabolic syndrome naturally and with less complications. Here are a few that are being used:
Turmeric and Curcuminoids: Regular intake have been shown to decrease symptoms of metabolic disease, helping to lower A1c, as well as control blood sugar levels and blood pressure issues over an 8-week study.
Pycnogenol (Pine Bark): Have been linked to show to disrupt issues and complications related to cardiometabolic disease (heart disease). Regular use has been associated with overall heart stability as well and also being a preventative form of natural heart regulatory care.
Sabdariffa (Hibiscus Flower): This unique herb is used for cardiovascular issues and regulation at any stage of metabolic development. Cardiovascular and cholesterol related issues are some of the most prominent forms of chronic disease that many people deal with and are often not told that there are natural solutions that can help, that cause less havoc on the organs and usually at a fraction of the cost as other treatments.
The positive thing about taking time to work on one aspect of a disease, many other benefits come about like more energy, weight loss and overall better quality of life, when practiced as a lifestyle. The main hope and message that the writer is hoping to convey is that: we don’t have to fall to the concept of circumstance, and we can begin to take our own health back: even overcoming metabolic disease factors. The way we eat, the way we move our bodies and the internal words we tell ourselves day in and out have a much greater impact on our health than we have been led to believe. Keep pushing on.
