Running On Empty


I am not a Doctor by any means. What I do know from experience and common sense is the fact that food equals fuel for the human body. Without it, we lose cognitive ability. The body can survive for a time without food by burning the energy that we have stored from before. This is damaging in the end though, sugar levels drop and insulin levels will rise. This causes the heart to race, cold sweats and a multitude of related problems. By doing this to myself through most of my youth, I am now paying the price for the stress I put my body through. I find it ironic, as I look back over the years that I would never let my car or truck run out of fuel, but I constantly did just that to my body.
