Look after your body the way you’d look after your car

You’ve probably heard the saying your body is like a car, you need to put the right fuel in to get it to run optimally.  Well it’s not just about the fuel
 
What if we break it down a bit more?   Now I just want to say, if you run your car into the ground and don’t look after it, this comparison is probably not for you 😉
 
So how is our body like a car?

Engine
Mitochondria –  the energy powerhouses - generate most of the energy need by our cells

Fuel
Diet – diet is vital as our body’s fuel.  It’s not just about calories & energy, but nutrients that every cell in our body need
Gut foundation – good bacteria & awareness of foods that cause inflammation in our digestion

Oxygen
Lungs
Heart
Circulation 
All 3 carry oxygen around the body to oxygenate our cells

Accelerator/brakes
Thyroid –controls our temperature, produce hormones, regulate your metabolism (how your body uses energy)

Gear box
Adrenals –involved in our stress response, fight or flight, hormones involved in the regulation of metabolism, immune system, blood pressure

Service & Repair
Sleep – Our body starts to repair while we are asleep.  This is the time when we shut down most of our other functions so the body can concentrate it’s energy on  running repairs where needed.

Tool kit
Methylation Cycle – A series of chemical reaction in the body, it’s main purpose is to regulate:
Genetic repair & expression
Generate ATP (energy)
Heavy metal detoxification
Hormone balance
Nervous, cardiovascular & immune activity
Helps us to function physically and mentally

Cleaning oil
Antioxidants – found in a variety of foods, protect your cells against free radicals.
Play a protective role in:
Heart disease, Cancer & many other disease’s

Catalytic convertor
Detox – this assists the body to focus on cleaning out the toxins.  

The Driver
Our brain in a fit state
Some nutrients that support optimal brain health are:
Omega 3
Probiotics
Vitamins A, B6, C, D3, E
Zinc

 
Like a car the most basic thing you can do to make sure it runs smoothly is put in the right fuel.  Your diet is the foundation of a healthy body, keep it clean, keep it simple, keep it natural.
