I grew up as a farm girl. I was all in for being a farm girl and did essentially everything my father did. I milked cows, made fences, plowed fields, bailed hay—anything he could do, I did too.
One of the things I learned is that when you “balance the ration” for a cow—code for deciding how much of which grains, legumes, and nutrients she received—it made a predictable and profound impact on optimizing her milk production. A little bit of supplemented selenium added to the ration would dramatically improve milk production by maybe 10 or 20 percent almost immediately.
A tweak of a pinch of selenium can make that big of a difference? It can indeed.
As humans, our production isn’t measured by how much milk we give but instead what we “produce in the world.” And we can’t do that when we’re not taking care of our bodies: “the machinery.”
Are you getting the right nutrients? Is everything that goes into your body something that supports you? Or is it something that hurts you?
You intuitively know what’s good for you. Paying attention to that means snapping out of your mindless bad habits. You deserve to live a life filled with health and vibrancy. Many people give up on that way too early in life, sapping their ability to perform their jobs or fully experience life.
Why not start today, really making sure you’re getting more vitamins, minerals, and nutrients through food and that you’re getting conscious about learning how to take care of yourself?
The new science regarding health and fitness has evolved tremendously in the last few years. Are you keeping up?
You’re worth it. This is the only you that you will ever get. It’s worth the time to learn how to take better care of yourself and commit to taking the right actions.
How about starting today?
