TIP #2 – Temporary state of Ketosis

• Select a block of time when you will not have any sugar. Not having any sugar means no carbohydrates, no fruit, no bread, no honey, etc….NO SUGAR.
• I use 6pm to 6am. Select what works for you. Some people use dinner as the last time that they have any type of sugars until the next morning.
• Here’s the goal of Tip #2 — Put your body in a state of ketosis.
  Ketosis is a normal metabolic process, something your body does to keep working. When it doesn’t have enough carbohydrates from food for your cells to burn for energy, it burns fat instead. As part of this process, it makes ketones.
• The Keto diet is very popular and follows the above principal of putting your body in a state of ketosis.
• The difference between Katheral Wellness TIP #2 and the Keto diet is that Katheral Wellness proposes that you do this NOT ALL THE TIME but JUST FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME on most days.
• Katheral Wellness is a Holistic Wellness Center. You should always do your own research and follow your doctor’s advice.
• Here is an article discussing brain health and ketones. At the end of the article are comments of those who disagree. That’s why it’s good to read all opinions and then establish a plan that works for you and your particular health situation. https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/what-are-ketones/
• Katheral Wellness proposes options that are balanced and whole. We embrace all food groups and macro nutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) as necessary and useful in the full functioning of the human body.
• Everything in BALANCE is our motto.
• So now that you know the goal, design your own program!
• My girlfriend refuses to give up wine every night. She will pick 4 of 7 nights to implement this tip.
• My 82 year old aunt is noticing improvements and changes in her body after 3 weeks of practicing this tip. She is stronger and has more energy. Her body is also getting firmer. She works out at the gym and eats healthy. She is on ZERO medication. She is still getting better and healthier through tips like this.
• FINAL NOTE: Do not get confused by all of the information and all of the options.
  • Start small.
  • Pick a small plan/change/goal and stick to it.
  • Build on your accomplishments.
  • Try different options.
  • Keep the option that works for you and your body.
  • Keep the option that gives YOU Results over time and maintains (keeps) those Results.
  • This is your plan. Own it!

TIP #3 – High Blood Pressure Guide

Follow this link and review our High Blood Pressure Guide for dietary considerations and natural ways to lower your blood pressure.

The human body is a wonderful amazing system that functions only as well as you maintain it. Sometimes the system malfunctions.  High blood pressure is one of those times when the body’s system is not working properly. 

What is high blood pressure?  High blood pressure (also referred to as hypertension) is when your blood pressure, the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels, is consistently too high.

High pressure (tension) is in the arteries, which are the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.  If you can imagine, arteries that are wide open and clear and free of buildup will allow blood to flow more easily (thus naturally reducing pressure).  When blood flows from the heart easily, the heart (our pump) does not have to work as hard to push blood through the body.  A heart that does not have to work extremely hard is a heart that will experience less wear and tear and damage.

High blood pressure is often associated with few or no symptoms. Many people refer to high blood pressure as the silent killer because it often has no symptoms. Many people have it for years without knowing it.

Consequences of high blood pressure?  High blood pressure can cause the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls to be consistently high enough such that it eventually causes health problems.  Health problems resulting from high blood pressure:

• Heart Disease
• Kidney (renal) disease
• Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis)
• Eye damage
• Stroke (brain damage)

High blood pressure is a serious condition and you should always follow the advice of your physician. Katheral Wellness is offering information and guidelines to supplement your doctor’s medical advice.
