5 Signs You Need a System Reboot
Our bodies speak to us in many
ways, and they are particularly good at letting us know when they are unhappy.
It’s all too easy in today’s world to fall into unhealthy habits involving lack
of exercise, lack of sleep, heightened stress levels, and of course, our diets.
It’s true, no one is perfect, and on occasion we indulge in foods that are
deemed unhealthy. We may even go weeks, months, or years at a time without
setting foot into a gym.
The important thing is that we
recognize when our bodies begin to feel neglected and make necessary changes to
reset our vital systems, enhancing their overall function and improving the way
we feel.
If you struggle with any of with
these five symptoms, it may be an indication that it’s time to start cleaning up
your act:
1. Weight Gain
Oftentimes, overweight bodies are
unhappy because they are filled with harsh chemicals found in junk food. These
chemicals not only prompt weight gain, they can actually make it difficult to
lose weight. Eating an unhealthy diet of processed foods, sugars, and refined
carbohydrates, can lead to bloating, indigestion, and increased cravings for
these potentially harmful foods.
2. Brain Fog
“What was I just doing again? Oh,
right.” If you have this thought multiple times a day in the middle of
accomplishing tasks, there is a chance that your body doesn’t have the proper
nutrition and energy levels to maintain focus.
3. Body Odor
While this isn’t a pleasant topic to address, it’s certainly
hard to ignore. If you are experiencing bad breath, frequent gas, and you smell
bad no matter how much deodorant you apply, your body is trying to push out
unwanted chemicals that are brewing inside. Get rid of them!
4. Skin Issues
If you look in the mirror and feel
like you’re staring back at your pimply teenage self, there’s a problem. In
fact, a number of skin problems, including rashes, are a manifestation of a
deeply rooted issue. Rather than trying to clean your skin from the outside in,
try addressing the issues that exist within the body and work your way out.
5. Lethargy
If you find yourself having a hard
time keeping your eyes open in the middle of the day, either you’re sleep
deprived or your body is feeling worn down by the unhealthy habits you have gained. If you are sleep deprived, and spend
most nights tossing and turning, this could be another sign that your body is
in need of a system reboot.
