Whether you're a triathlete or an occasional sports enthusiast, when you exercise you increase your body’s nutritional needs. Nature's Sunshine Products help deliver key nutrients to support recovery and optimize athletic performance. Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, and enough rest.
In current contexts, physical fitness is considered a measure of the body’s ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to meet emergency situations.
A desire for more energy is one of the most common complaints to doctors. However, the medical profession has very little to offer when it comes to rebuilding the energy production system of the body.
Nutritional balancing, however, focuses on raising the body’s adaptive energy level by basically restoring excellent health. Restoring one’s energy is basically a process of restoring the correct minerals in thousands of enzyme binding sites, and it is a matter of balancing and strengthening body chemistry. In addition to supplementation with the herbal products listed below the following factors must be integrated carefully in a complete program for good results.
REST AND SLEEP
Most people do not get enough rest! Without this, you will never fully overcome chronic fatigue and have the best energy possible.This is such a basic lifestyle factor that it is so often overlooked, even by natural health practitioners.
BALANCING THE OXIDATION RATE
The oxidation rate is like the tune of your cars engine. If an internal combustion engine is running too slowly or if the fuel-air mixture is too rich or too lean, the engine will not run correctly and the power output drops precipitously.The oxidation rate is highly dependent on many factors, among which are the activity of the thyroid and adrenal glands. The adrenals increase the available fuel, while the thyroid helps “ignite” the fuel, acting like spark plugs.
A Slow Oxidation Rate. Many people are tired because their thyroid glands and/or their adrenal glands are nutritionally depleted, toxic and therefore underactive. Medical doctors and even natural healers often give thyroid hormones and even adrenal hormones for this condition. I strongly advise people to try nutritional balancing first. In most cases, replacement hormones are not needed and actually slow the deeper process of rebuilding the thyroid and adrenal glands.

A Fast Oxidation Rate. An opposite condition can cause fatigue as well. Some people who are tired are fast oxidizers. Their thyroid and adrenal gland activity is excessive, these individuals use energy inefficiently and become tired. These individuals are often lavish in their expenditure of energy, and accomplish much as long as their energy holds out. However, they often run on nervous energy. They may have excellent energy for a time, and then suddenly become exhausted. When they become tired, they are attracted to stimulants, alcohol or other artificial means to sustain their energy. Part of the task in correcting energy usage in a fast oxidizer is to even out their use of energy.
STIMULANTS AND YOUR ENERGY SYSTEM
Many people believe the answer to low energy is to use stimulants. The most popular ones are caffeine, such as drinking coffee, and sugar. Others include such things as worry, fear, anger, a lot of exercise and perhaps stimulant drugs such as methamphetamines or cocaine. These don’t work long term. They provide a short energy boost, but they do this by stimulating or irritating the glands or the nervous system. Over time, the system becomes very depleted and then the stimulant won’t work any more. One is left much more tired than before one began using the stimulant.
