The Body’s Insurance Policy

I have always been astonished by the body’s insurance policy. It has an amazing reserve in literally every organ where a LOT of that organ has to malfunction in order for any symptoms to manifest itself. 

Redundancy can best be defined by the body’s or the specific organ’s reserves; a potential to bypass dysfunction and keep carrying out its functions despite some tissue damage or dysfunction. You see you can live “happily ever after” with just one kidney. That is 50% redundancy right there.

But this also means that you do not get a warning. You carry on with unhealthy lifestyle and the first time you realize there is a problem is when you get a diagnosis. So it is important to live “defensively”.

The brain is similar. Except that we only have one of it! So take good care of it! It does have an amazing reserve though. It is now known that the cellular mechanisms of dementia are there DECADES before symptoms present themselves. This is where early intervention can reverse or slow the process. Be proactive by seeking things that keep you healthy. Create good health habits.

A great way to do this is to get your personalized supplement recommendation list. By taking activated, pharmaceutical grade supplements regularly and preventing deficiencies from turning into dysfunction, you can can ahead of many health and mental health issues.
