Dietary Changes can Help Prevent Dizziness Dizziness - Part 3 Dr. Edward F.Group III, DC, Ph.D, ND, DACBN
Along with all the dietary changes you are making, there are some basic changes to your lifestyle that will help you along the path to optimal wellness. Practice meditation techniques including learning how to control anxiety and stress, eliminate self-doubt and negativity, and instill self-control and peace of mind. There is no doubt the greatest enemy to your health and wellbeing is a negative self-image and high stress. Many people work hard to overcome bad habits only to fall back into them again. Why? Because the emotional barriers were never overcome in the first place. To truly succeed at life, you need to work on overcoming your emotional barriers, whether they’re based on life’s anxiety-factors or emotional traumas. There are a host of techniques to instill positive emotions and thoughts and create a sense of inner-peace, and the best rule is to find the one that works for you, whether it is considered traditional or "alternative," and keep on using it. Emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health - no matter how devoted you are to the proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body's ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way. By using meditation techniques you can learn to:
Control your eating habits. You can help keep from getting dizzy spells by doing the following: Vary your foods. It is important to avoid regularly having the same food every day of the week. Eat every two hours. Most of us eat large amounts of grains and sugars that cause us to have large amounts of insulin circulating in our blood. When you stop eating grains your body will take several days to lower your insulin levels. In the meantime the high insulin levels will cause you to have many symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, headaches, and generally feeling miserable. If you eat every two hours for the first few days of your transition you will be able to avoid this temporary side effect. You will need to eat some protein, such as an egg, piece of chicken, turkey or fish, or some seeds, along with a vegetable such as a piece of celery, cucumber or red pepper. This will help to prevent hypoglycemia and stabilize your blood sugar. Whatever you do avoid sugar. It is bad for your body. Eat more often during the day, rather than less often. Even after your system has adjusted, it will be wise to eat four to six meals a day. Eating more frequently has been shown to normalize cholesterol levels. It will also help your adrenal glands better regulate cortisol levels. Make sure you always get a good night's sleep. To get a good night's sleep, it's important to sleep in complete darkness. The best way would be to:
Start exercising, especially if you need to lose weight. At a bare minimum, everyone should exercise for 30 minutes per day. If you need to lose weight, it is important to exercise at least 60 minutes every day. Also note that, if you are diabetic, you will not be able to control your diabetes without exercise as part of your regime. If you are just beginning exercise, work up to 60 minutes slowly; you can combine several shorter exercise periods to reach your daily 60 minutes. There is a synergy with diet and exercise that is incredible. You will not be able to control dizziness without exercise. Swimming is one of the best exercises on the planet, but if you are like most people your only option is swimming in a chlorinated pool. Peroxide (not bromine) is also an alternative for chlorine in your pool, and a product called Baquacil is available at most pool stores. If you're smoking, quit now. This is obviously the most important step. Smoking causes so many health problems that can’t be listed here. Cigarette smoke acts as a drug and can get into the blood stream where it cuts down on oxygen to your brain. This can cause dizziness. Minimize drugs. Minimize the unnecessary use of drugs, and seek safe and effective alternatives when possible. Especially troublesome are antibiotics, anti-ulcer drugs, birth control pills or estrogen for menopause unless you are having hot flashes. If you take Tylenol regularly, you should be on N-acetyl cysteine to prevent organ damage. Natural Remedies For Dizziness Ginkgo biloba - 120 mg two to three times daily. Ginkgo improves circulation through the inner ear. B-Complex - 50 mg two times daily. Combats the effects of stress. IntraMax - Take as directed on label. Provides a balance of supplements. Homeopathic Combination Dizziness and Nausea Formula - 30C potency two times daily. If no changes pick another remedy that matches symptoms. Panax Ginseng - 100 mg two to three times daily. Strengthens adrenal glands which may be the root problem resulting in low blood pressure. Essential Oils - Lavender combats the sensation of vertigo. Ginger oil reduces nausea. Stress Reduction - Stress and anxiety can aggravate dizziness. Use meditation, stretching, exercising and healing music. Dizziness can be stopped if you do the right thing and take care of your body. You need to recognize the symptoms right away and take action. If you act on your symptoms quickly and take the right steps and use the correct treatment methods, you can overcome dizziness for any reason.
