Do you ever question your personal power?
It’s easy to forget how incredible our bodies are, but consider this: your body contains approximately 37.5 trillion cells.
Each of these cells generates 0.7 volts of electricity, which means you’re carrying around 2.63 trillion volts of electricity.
You are a powerhouse.
So why not harness that power instead of undermining it?
Here’s how you can unlock your full potential by making healthier choices.
You Are What You Eat
What you put into your body has a direct impact on your health. Junk food, for instance, increases the risk of numerous health issues, including:
Cancer
Diabetes
Depression
Inflammation
Eating disorders
Cardiovascular disease
You already know this, yet the allure of chips, soda, and processed foods can be hard to resist.
However, these foods fill your cells with harmful substances, disrupting their function and potentially altering your DNA over time.
The next time you reach for that bag of Cheetos, picture a healthy cell being overwhelmed by junk and losing its vitality.
Maybe those kale chips aren’t such a bad option after all:)
Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol contains ethanol, a neurotoxin that can wreak havoc on your body.
It:
Interferes with immunity
Disrupts metabolic pathways
Is linked to various cancers and diseases
Alters the physical structure of cell membranes
That’s why after a “good night out,” you often find yourself lethargic and unwell the next day. Your cells need time to recover from the damage.
If you can’t abstain from alcohol, practice moderation to minimize its harmful effects.
Exercise: Keep the Energy Flowing
Our bodies are not designed for a sedentary lifestyle. Physical activity is essential for maintaining good health.
Regular exercise:
Improves immune cell function
Slows cellular aging (protects telomeres)
Increases insulin sensitivity (protecting against diabetes)
Stimulates mitochondria production (energy production)
In simpler terms, exercise helps build muscle, boosts mood, improves sleep, and reduces inflammation.
You don’t need to spend hours at the gym; even a 20-minute walk can be more beneficial than sitting all day.
Get creative with your exercise routine (i.e. hula hooping)or multitask it while working on other things.
Walk Barefoot on the Earth: Grounding
“Grounding” or “earthing” involves walking barefoot on the earth’s natural surfaces.
The benefits of grounding include:
Reduced pain
Improved blood flow
Faster wound healing
Better mood and reduced stress
The everyday wear and tear of life can deplete our bodies of the necessary amount of ions for optimal health.
The earth is rich in free ions, which can help reduce inflammation and restore balance in your body.
Our bodies are natural conductors, and walking barefoot allows you to absorb these ions, recharging your internal energy.
Conclusion
Your body is an incredible machine capable of generating immense power. By making conscious choices about what you eat, drink, and how you move, you can optimize this power and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
