Things that are making you sick and guess what? Your doctor may not even be talking to you about it.
Processed Foods- High consumption of ultra-processed foods has been linked to health concerns ranging from increased risk of obesity, hypertension, breast and colorectal cancer to dying prematurely from all causes. Processed foods contain lots of preservatives including carrageenan and sorbitan tristearate, additives used to do things like thicken, emulsify and preserve the flavor and enhance the texture of food which are all things are body naturally does not recognize.
Seed Oils- Seed oils have high levels of omega-6 fats, which can lead to inflammation.
Birth Control- Some studies have shown that Estrogen-Containing Birth Control (Pill, Patch, and Ring) increase the risk for blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks. There have also been other studies that have shown that hormonal birth control can negatively impact gut and immune health.
Blue Light- Blue light causes Leptin resistance. Leptin is the master hormone that controls energy and fecundity. It also can also impact your eye and brain health. Blue light is the most likely to trigger photophobia, migraine attacks, and other symptoms of chronic conditions (including vertigo, dizziness and disequilibrium). Cut down on screen time as much as you can. Taking regular breaks from computer or TV screens allows your eyes to rest and limits blue light exposure. Before bed, ensure that you end your screen time at least an hour before sleeping to get adequate rest.
