Too Much Healthy Food Can Kill You
Water is essential for life and we need to
consume it in order to stay healthy but when too much is taken it is known to
kill. That was driven home when dizziness and unwell feelings have had me
involuntarily taking it easy. At times my legs were too heavy and tired to walk
while my arms feel like they are being dragged from their sockets. My only
respite has been doing more in the garden with frequent brakes.
During the cold winter months it is natural to
turn to the good leafy green vegetables and the oft promoted super foods. It
was with great pride and joy that my patch sports them in abundance. Bok Choy,
which grows so quick one can pick leaves everyday while it thrives. Kale, which
never seems to be a trouble to grow, and spinach, which is my favourite.
From around the start of winter they became my
staples every night. Knowing the benefit they give with their super abundance
of essential elements and vitamins a short burst of heat in the micro-wave had
them ready to eat.
Following the nightly meal, it is a treat to
pamper my stomach with yoghurt and blueberries. Delicious and moorish even the
cats front up to lick the plate. Almonds have been another staple recommended
by dieticians for a healthy gut.
So with all this goodness inside why is my
body letting me down. Tired aching muscles, nausea feelings and then the
dizziness that has often sent me spinning towards a chair.
Doctors, Naturopaths, PT trainers and others
all suggested different causes. From stones in the ears to a damaged shoulder
everything was suggested but nothing seemed to fit.
As a spiritual person it is normal for me to
consult the Spirit for answers and they came thick and fast. Looking at the Bok
Choy waving its lovely leaves amidst the other great foods it hit me. What is
it about that vegetable that could make me sick.
It has been like poisoning whereby my brain
becomes cloudy and then my body feels wobbly. Led to the Internet the riddle
was soon solved.
While bok choy, kale, spinach, etc. are super
foods with components to block cancer growth and even prevent diabetes, they
contain a high amount of potassium. Symptoms of too much of that element
exactly matches mine. Lethargy, nausea, and dizziness are part of it. Almond
milk and nuts are also full of it, as too is milk and other staples, including
eggs.
The danger of an abundance of potassium leads
to heart attacks and other things. The lesson that too much good healthy food
can actually kill you has been learnt. The Great Spirit has once again
protected me, as it does all who are spiritual. All one needs do is ask it as a
friend for answers and it rarely lets you down.
