To continue with my story, I have had some battles with my health over the past 4 years. I was having constant pain all over my body and I finally went to the Doctor and was told I have Fibromyalgia.
I continued to struggle with pain and weight issues. I went through every natural remedy I could find. I didn't get much relief. I kept gaining weight and have gained 100lbs in the past 4 years.
I had some serious health problems last year and was laid up for several months. I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and Insulin Resistance. That explained the weight gain.
The weight gain was a source of great frustration for me because I was not over eating and my diet was not horrible either. I do admit that I ate garbage occasionally, but not frequently enough to justify the weight gain. My diet was fairly clean. I gave the doctor my food diary and he said I should not have gained this much weight.
The PCOS and Insulin Resistance causes the body's metabolism to slow and not process sugar and starch properly. You end up storing the excess as fat and that is what was happening to me.
The remedy for PCOS is weight loss, but PCOS causes you not to be able to lose weight. I was in a Catch 22 situation. I learned that the best way for me to get rid if the weight is to follow a low carb diet. I have turned my health around and I'm getting back to where I was 4 years ago.
Part of my turn around was the strict diet and exercise program. Because of the PCOS, any "cheating" on my diet can cause a weight gain of several pounds in one day. I have to be very strict in order to see the results.
Exercise has been extremely important as well. It speeds the metabolism and is helpful in relieving the firbromyalgia symptoms.
I have also increased the amount of Glutathione in my system. Increasing Glutathione has helped in many ways. I have had less problems with allergies this winter and early spring this year. I have suffered from constant allergy problems for about 9 years. I suffer spring, summer, fall, and winter. Almost everything that blooms or pollenates causes me trouble. Runny nose, itchy eyes, severe congestion, and cold symptoms have caused me about a weeks worth of down time every year. I haven't had a down day this year as of March.
The increase in Glutathione has also helped me with my exercise performance. I take 6 capsules about 15 minutes before I exercise. I have more energy for my work out and I'm not as sore as I normally am after working out. I also notice that breathing is easier while working out.
If you have questions about Glutathione, go to my web site and I'll get in touch with you. Also if you know anyone that could use a product like this, drop me a line. I can't promise the same results I have gotten form increasing Glutathione, but wouldn't it be great if it worked for you, like it has for me?
