Hi "Frozen in Morning" - Hannah Mae

Hi "Frozen in Morning" - Hannah Mae Years ago I worked in a gym as a physical therapist; Some folks came in really messed up AND out of shape. Others were just messed up, but in reasonable shape. And others we fine, but out of shape. SO PEOPLE COME IN ALL FLAVORS. The first thing I remind them is what you eat affects every cell in your body. Eat junk you become junk. Eat fresh food you can grow in your backyard like oranges, greens, melons; whatever and you pick up the energy - the life - that is in live foods. Start there - you can make that change in a split second. The next thing - when it comes to muscle control, muscle tone, feeling energized or paralyzed, all comes from nerves and muscles and blood flow and nutrients and oxygen in that flow. So folks who work out a lot have extra hemoglobin - oxygen carriers - and usually lots of oxygen going. Folks who sit around and watch TV start to look a lot like an old couch. When was the last time you did 20 - 30 minutes of gentle stretching; yoga style...or meditation...deep breathing or even a little rubber-band style weights? Pick some exercises you feel you can do safely and do them. Just cause you are an epi doesn't restrict you any more than folks with a bad back or knee have to choose their regime carefully. So ... there are some things you can do that will increase blood flow, cardiac health and oxygen for your brain and body. THAT, combined with a good diet and just a little experimenting with nutrients may make this morning paralysis disappear or at least become more manageable. There also may be a brain issue; who knows? But even a prudent doctor is going to first see if you are eating right and exercising at least a little... ...don't jump onto meds because you stubbed your toe until you give your toe a chance to heal attached to a body that is working at getting healthier.
