Sick All The Time?
Maybe It's Your Food

Why do some people fall sick frequently while others enjoy robust health throughout the year? One reason is genetics but since we can't pre-determine good genes for ourselves and our family, what can we do? One way is to ensure that our body is always equipped with nutrients for internal functioning and external defense.

Here are some symptoms of nutrient deficiency from Healthy Tips. Have you ever experienced any of these?

> Lack energy and feel tired constantly
> Fall sick more than twice a year
> Difficulty digesting certain foods or have food allergies
> Belch or pass gas after meals
> Sore or painful joints
> Difficulty maintaining ideal weight
> Long recovery time from illness
> Food or chemical sensitivities

The above are all signs of your body on the path to breaking down. If you frequently experience these symptoms, your body might be sending you signals that it is breaking down internally ande losing the ability to defend against external stresses. Left alone, it may lead to much longer and more serious illnesses.
