Improve Energy with Supplements & Exercise
January 27, 2017
Energy is the #1 Complaint by most adults
It is quite normal to lose energy over time as we age. Hormonal changes cause our metabolic rate to change which further results in fluctuation of body fat and muscle mass. As we age, our fat cells tend to move deeper into the body organs, slowing blood flow and overall function, most often at a very mild rate. Additionally, the body’s cells age as we do, which can attribute to lowered endurance.
When the body is in it’s prime, it calls up a reservist enzyme that protects the cells from damage. However, as the cells age, they lose the ability to mobilize and begin to limit our other functions. This is a natural occurrence, and no one should ever feel alarmed by this.

The great thing about the body is that it responds very well to proactive action! Natural supplements, which can also be taken from a variety of foods, support your health through improving blood flow, elevating the metabolic rate, and aiding digestion. All of the aforementioned contribute to lowered inflammation and stamina.
