Love Chemistry 701: Delicate Ecosystems
Today we're looking at two mini-eco-systems: the immune system and marriage!
Relationship MultiVitamin: Balance
We all need bacteria in our intestinal tract to stay healthy- it's a mini eco system that is amazing. Most of us who consume the Standard American Diet have too much of one kind of bacteria, and not enough healthy flora to balance it. That's one big reason why people have digestive issues like reflux, constipation, and diseases like irritable bowl syndrome. Researchers are also linking many auto-immune diseases to unhealthy gut flora. That's why probiotics, that help repopulate the gut with healthy flora, are so important!
Relationships are another amazing mini eco system. We need correct, balanced perspectives and viewpoints to keep our relationships strong and healthy. We live in a culture of spin, a culture of relative morality where anything goes. It bleeds into our relationships every single day. When it is difficult to determine what "right" and "wrong" really are, it can be easy to "spin" things for our own benefit. It can be easy to make ourselves the victim, the martyr, or the right one, while our spouse is left scratching their head wondering where this logic could come from.
That's why it is so important to operate in the truth- looking honestly at situations, and being willing to own up to our mistakes, missteps, and misunderstandings. Nothing will kill a marriage faster than living in a "spin zone". So today, be honest about your own shortfalls, and own up to the areas you need to grow. Repopulate the "gut" of your relationship with the probiotic of balance about who you are as a person, and let go of the need to always be right!
Libby Wright, mother of four who homeschools, is an original founder of SupplementRelief.com in 2010. She suffered through challenging diseases including Interstitial Cystitis, Graves and Lyme. After years of little progress with traditional medicine, she pursued integrative medicine, applied what she learned, and got healthier. She became passionate about wanting others to experience the same "relief" she had come to know, and SupplementRelief.com was born. She is now managing her illness with a lot of prayer, a lot of nutrition/supplements, and a little prescription medicine. She has been able to resume her normal life and, while there is no cure for her particular conditions, she is able to cope, enjoy every day, and encourage others.
