Inside the cell potassium is concentrated while outside of our cells sodium predominates. This uneven concentration of potassium and sodium creates a differential in charge just like a battery works. Low potassium contributes to many chronic diseases and creates body signs such as low energy, missed words, matting eyes and difficulty in focusing, lack of lustre and shine in the hair and a straw like appearance, feelings of a heavy body and much more. Additional posts in Facebook at Take Charge of Your Health with Corinne and Carol will provide a recipe for potassium broth and a more complete list of deficiencies and disease states.

Dr. Minkoff enlightens us to the problems that face us when we cannot break down dietary protein to its smallest parts - amino acids. Our bodies absorb amino acids and use those to make all the unique protein molecules used in our bodies. We have an estimated 50,000 unique protein molecules. We need these for all the enzymes in our bodies, all our immune system components, all of our body and bone structure and much more. Ironically, in order to break down protein in our digestion system, we require the enzymes made of protein. Listen to how we can break the catch 22 and learn how proteins and amino acids function.

The holidays are complicated for many even in the best of times. Sometimes it is a mourning for those who have passed since the previous year. Sometimes it's complicated by personalities. Sometimes it's lonely. Usual schedules are disrupted. Every thing seems to be heightened in significance. These days, we grapple with whether "to gather" or not. Zoom and other platforms have exploded as an alternative means to connect but lacks the satisfaction of in person meetings. At year-end holiday times, we have the opportunity to review and reflect over the past year. We can set new goals, determine to try something different, and drop what doesn't serve us. Best, it can be a time of personal growth.
