have you ever asked yourself why am I so cold all the time I'm gonna explain hey
I'm Dr. Sten Ekberg with wellness for life and if you'd like to get as healthy
as possible by understanding how health really works then make sure that you
subscribe and hit that bell so that you don't miss anything have you ever found
that you're feeling cold and yet no one else in the room is complaining you tend
to wear a sweater when everyone else has t-shirts if you're feeling cold all the
time sort of in the whole body then it is a energy problem you're simply put
you're not making enough energy so let's break this down and make it really
simple so we can get it your cells make energy and there's three factors that
play in in terms of your cells making enough energy the first one has to do
with the thyroid and your thyroid is like the thermostat for the whole body
you have a hundred trillion cells in your body give or take and every one of
those cells have thyroid receptors and then the thyroid makes thyroid hormone
and the thyroid hormone attaches to the cell and determines that tells the cell
how much to do of whatever that cell is doing so with more thyroid hormone every
cell it's going to make a little more with less thyroid hormone every cell is
going to slow down and do less of whatever that cell is doing so it's like
a thermostat you increase tyroid you speed up everything in the body a little
bit you reduce the thyroid output and you slow down everything in the body a
little bit and this is energy production heart rate digestive speed the
production of stomachacid the rate of healing the transmission of nerve
impulses you name it every cell depends on thyroid hormone and if it slows down
then everything slows down so that's part one
then once the thyroid has kind of placed the order to hold the the cell what to
do now the cell has two requirements it needs fuel and it needs oxygen
so the way that we get fuel is obviously from the food that we eat and if you
don't eat anything for a really long time that's called starvation if you
starve or if you go on an extended fast or if you're trying to go on a diet and
starve yourself then your body senses that there's less fuel in the system and
it's it slows down it shuts things down gradually to conserve energy to conserve
resources and that's why it can be difficult to lose weight for example by
just cutting out the how much you eat so-called calories because the less you
eat the more the body tries to conserve and you're kind of caught in a vicious
cycle but even if you're not starving yourself you can actually be short on
energy for another reason it's called hypoglycemia and this happens if you
have what's called a blood sugar roller coaster if your metabolism primarily
depends on carbohydrates and sugar for fuel like most people in the Western
world then what happens is you eat some sugar and carbs and your body has an
insulin response and that insulin response is going to suppress the blood
sugar it's gonna drop the blood sugar but because sugar is such a stress on
the body the body tends to overcompensate because it's kind of a
crisis when blood sugar goes up so it's overcompensate and it tries to get it
down really really fast so now you get a valley and that's called hypoglycemia
now you're too low on available fuel and your body goes screaming give me
something give me something and you get cravings and what do you get cravings
for you guessed it carbs sugar bread snacks junk food so the way to get
around that is to cut out the junk food cut out the processed food cut out the
sugar and the carbs and develop a diet more like a keto or a paleo diet where
you rely more heavily on fat and protein because that's how the body gets a
stable blood sugar level once you have a stable blood sugar that means you have a
stable fuel supply for your cells and you no longer get hypoglycemia and your
body has the available fuel to produce energy and then we said that the cells
need in addition to the fuel they need oxygen and just like anything else in
the world that's gonna burn anything that's going to produce energy
it needs oxygen and in the body what delivers the oxygen obviously is the
blood their red blood cells and in the red blood cells the thing that actually
carries the oxygen is called hemoglobin it's a protein so you can either have a
low number of red blood cells or you could have less hemoglobin in the red
blood cells either one of those situations is called anemia that means
that your blood doesn't have the capacity to transport enough oxygen so
if you're really anemic you could lose 20 30 40 percent of your oxygen carrying
capacity and now your cells are constantly starving for energy because
even if it has fuel available it can't turn the fuel into energy without the
oxygen if you enjoy this kind of information please share it with others
