The inclination to eat healthily is perceived as a

The inclination to eat healthily is perceived as a desirable behaviour in general. However, when it acquires obsessive traits and prevents the person from leading a healthy life, it is a risky behaviour, and can even lead to malnutrition. This is why these orthorexic behaviours can be confused with anorexic behaviours (for example), or even be ignored, encouraged, or praised as a way of taking care of themselves and their body. Thus, the relation between ON and ED is complex and unequivocal; and still far from being completely understood.

Some of the shared traits between ON and ED’s that have been previously reported are: a cognitive fixation on nutrition, perfectionism, high anxiety levels, the need to keep everything under control, feeling guilty if they had transgressions with their diet, self-discipline actions in direct proportion to adherence to the diet, cognitive rigidity, and denial of the functional deficiencies associated to the disorder. However, ON does not include the primary symptoms of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa which are fear of gaining weight, an excessive obsession with being slim, and a distorted perception of the body.

Out of the proposed criteria, two main characteristics must be included:

•An obsessive approach to food and eating practices, to promote optimal well-being through a diet considered as healthy (but is inflexible and shows persistent and recurring concern over food).
• Significant clinical deterioration, which may include medical, nutritional, and/or psychological complications, high levels of distress, and/or decline in important areas of social functioning.

Childhood trauma, often referred to adverse childhood events, has been strongly associated with poor health outcomes in adulthood. I did a post about this a while ago.

This video does a great job of explaining some of the reasons behind this.

How much do you have in reserve? Many of you will

How much do you have in reserve?

Many of you will be familiar that grip strength is associated with longevity.

One study concluded that “those in the lowest grip-strength tertile at baseline had about eight times greater risk of grip-strength disability than those in the highest tertile because of their lower reserve of strength. In old age, maintenance of optimal body mass may help prevent steep strength decrease and poor absolute strength.”

But reserves do not just relate to muscle mass and strength.

Organ reserve refers to the ability of an organ to successfully return to its original physiological state following repeated episodes of stress. Clinical evidence shows that organ reserve correlates with the ability of older adults to cope with an added workload or stress, suggesting a role in the process of aging. Although organ reserve is well documented clinically, it is not clearly defined at the molecular level.

We’re basically talking about resilience.

And we know how to build resilience right? If not then check out my upcoming retreat next year! 💪

A great paper published at the end of last year discussed mitochondrial function and their importance in regulating immunity (among so many other things including microbiome diversity). The authors stated that “as viruses in general, and quite possibly this new virus, have also evolved to modulate immunometabolism and thus mitochondrial function to ensure their replication, this could further stress cellular bioenergetics. Unlike most sedentary modern humans, one of the natural hosts for the virus, the bat, has to "exercise" regularly to find food, which continually provides a powerful adaptive stimulus to maintain functional muscle and mitochondria. In effect the bat is exposed to regular hormetic stimuli, which could provide clues on how to resist this virus.”

Clues indeed…

Schumann frequencies have wrapped life on Earth si

Schumann frequencies have wrapped life on Earth since its inception. Atmospheric electric discharges generate broadband electromagnetic waves that propagate between the surface and the ionosphere.

Driven by lightning, and affected by solar flares, these primal Schumann resonance pulses are thought to calibrate us and enhance our physical and mental well-being. That natural resonance helps us achieve our optimal brainwave states, but this atmosphere-to-human linkage has been recently disrupted by the electrosmog of much of today’s technology.

Research within the last several decades demonstrates that alterations in geomagnetic activity from man-made electromagnetic technology – “electro-smog” – have caused significant changes in the intensity and stability of the Schumann resonance. Telecommunication technology operates within the Earth’s ionosphere cavity and these artificial signals can influence and even change the Schumann resonance to flux outside its normal spectrum. This in turn can potentially induce alterations in the normal resonance with many Earth life-forms, particularly influencing brain rhythms and human physiology synchronisation.

Electrosmog exposure has been shown to cause many different physiological pathologies. All appliances, computers, TV's, cell phones, radios, digital devices, air conditioners, lighting, power lines, communication lines, air waves, radio waves, etc. produce electromagnetic fields that can be disrupting to our own biofrequencies. These electromagnetic frequencies either from above – interrupting our link with the Earth-ionosphere resonance – or from direct exposure, can interfere with the body‘s electromagnetic operating system.
