Congested?  

Simple Techniques to try before you reach in the Medicine Cabinet 

A simple definition of Congestion is excessive crowding.  When our roadways are congested with too many cars, traffic forms as a result.  When our body produces too much mucus are bodies look for areas where there is less congestion and moves mucus to those areas, such as our lungs and nasal cavity.  There are a number of factors that contribute to becoming congested.  What it comes down to is an over-accumulation of toxins, which is more or less a result of too much food and/or the wrong food.  Certainly mucus is a blessing as it there to protect our sensitive inner linings against toxins of all forms, which can include environmental toxins in the air we breath, chemical toxins from the products we use, and of course food we eat on a daily basis.  

For environmental air toxins, when we are indoors we can consider  investing in an air purifier.  The best air purification system is household plants.  Indoor plants will oxygenate your home and office environments and are absolutely essential, especially when you are sleeping.  Sleep time means rest, rejuvenation and healing.  While you are sleep your breathing and the quality of air that you are breathing is of paramount importance.  Create an indoor jungle, the more plants the better.

When we are outdoors, we should be conscious that we are not breathing air that is riddled with heavy traffic fumes.  What is best is to not only exercise outdoors, but ideally in a park or wooded environment where there is plenty of greenery around you. 

With the green and health conscious movement over the last few decades, there are a number of chemical free household products on the market that don't have adverse effects on our body when we either breath or make skin contact.   

The food amount and food choices we make will have the greatest impact on our congested body temples.  If you are congested, the most basic technique you can try is to skip a meal and drink water or fresh juices instead.  Congestion is a result of too much pressure on our bodies.  If we release that pressure by skipping a meal and bringing added fluids, we allow the blood to thin and that allows the body to release the added pressure through increased urination via the kidneys.

For our food choices, the number one worst food you can eat (see archived newsletters) is cooked starches, which is arguably the worst form of sugar.  Starch along with dairy products are probably the greatest mucus formers, and with any health crises, it becomes necessary to eliminate these foods.

It is worth mentioning a number of natural remedies and supplements that can assist the body without undo stimulation.  Enzyme therapy is probably one of the most effective supplements you can take for any condition, especially advanced states of disease such as tumors and cancer.  As we age, our enzymes (metabolic and digestive) drop dramatically.  MSM and green powders that contain algaes, herbs,  land vegetation, along with probiotics can help.  Ionic silver and other trace minerals can be effective as well.   

It is important to always take a whole approach when examining an adverse health condition.  In this case, we looked at the environmental air quality along with chemicals that can come into contact via our skin or lungs.  Nonetheless, at the end of the day our daily food routine will always matter most.  What is important to understand is that congestion is simply a result the inflow of food being greater than the outflow of waste.  To compensate, the outflow shows up in other areas in our body resulting in health crisis-es.  Simply reduce the inflow to be in better sync with the outflow.  Even the best supplement, homeopathic, and/or herbal regimen can only be as effective as the fuel (food) and the amount of fuel (food) we choose to pass through our body temples.
