How many times have you been hungry but feel like you “shouldn’t eat”? 🙊
As humans and living, breathing creatures, we are meant to feel hungry. 😋 Magazine articles and social media can make us confused on how much we are supposed to eat and when, giving us misinformation and expectations.👉 We live in a world obsessed with calories and how little we should eat because we’re afraid of gaining weight. “But my friend does it, and she's fine!” We have been pushing off our hunger, postponing it as if we aren’t meant to feel it.😢 When we feel hunger pangs, it’s our body’s way of telling us it’s running low on energy. 😲 When you ignore your hunger, ghrelin is suppressed, which really stresses your body out. The rise in stress levels and ignoring your hunger symptoms makes your body think you’re intentionally starving it. It clings to everything it already has. This is why even if you eat a low number of calories all the time, your weight loss stalls. Too low of a calorie intake is enough to stress your body so much that your metabolism stalls, and you find yourself in this vicious cycle.
For those of us that have pushed aside our hunger cues for a long time, we may not “get hungry” anymore. You might have to rely on other cues like fatigue, lightheadedness, irritability, or sluggishness to tell you that what your body actually needs is food. There’s no reason we should be shaming ourselves because we are hungry. ♥ We really need to work on shutting down the mentality that it’s unacceptable to be hungry. Eat to nourish your body! 😍 This is why hunger is healthy: it means your hormones are functioning how they are supposed to, and your metabolism is working!

What color is your urine?
👉 By using the color of urine, you can reveal important information about your health. The elimination of urine is very important for different bodily functions; it regulates the balance of water in the body and gets rid of substances that are produced during metabolic processes and are no longer needed by the body. The ideal healthy urine color is clear and has a straw yellow color to it, and anything darker or lighter may indicate that you have a health issue on your hands. We need to consider the color, odor and amount of urine. Cloudy urine, for example, can be among common UTI symptoms, and UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections affecting women.
Cloudy urine can be due to a few possibilities:
- Dehydration
- Infections, often UTIs
- Kidney problems
- Certain diseases
- STDs
- Cancer
Because urine is a compilation of the waste that has been present in your body, it’s a good indicator of your current health condition. ✔ Ask our office to get to the root of your health concerns. ... See MoreSee Less
