Stop The Fatigue!

Nitrogen is on of the basic elements, like carbon and oxygen. It receives almost no attention in the medical world yet it’s so important to our health. Nitrogen is part of thousands of substances our bodies make and is the building block for protein and amino acids.

What’s interesting is that everyday, in normal activity, we tear down protein in our body; therefore we need a good supply of nitrogen on demand to stay healthy.

Nitrogen in the blood helps up build certain proteins like hormones and antihistamines. For those people with hormone problems like, hypothyroidism, a little problem with one type of hormone becomes a major health issue and can make you feel AWFUL.

Hormones are part of our “Coping Chemistry” and if we can’t build enough on demand, we become imbalanced and our bodies become super stressed.

For those people who have severe allergies it might because your Nitrogen is low. When you breath in dust and pollens our bodies deliver a swift release of antihistamine to help us cope.

Grannie’s nitrogen pills (a prescription medication) calmed her heart palpitations. Nitrogen is a natural relaxant (think nitrous oxide or laughing gas).

So how do you know if you’re getting enough Nitrogen?

The more you used your muscles since childhood, the more you need it. Sports, exercise, physically challenging work all depletes nitrogen. Just being active is enough to deplete nitrogen to low levels. Emotional stress also does the same. Women with difficult menstrual periods may signal a deficiency.

Blood test can sometimes be used to determine if your nitrogen is low but very few doctors can interpret the test correctly as the blood doesn’t always reflect the tissue levels. A person with good levels on a test may still have low levels of nitrogen. BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is the test but this test is also skewed when the person has been in contact with wood smoke, fertilizers, nitrates and other nitrogen substances.

Symptoms are usually the best way to decided if your nitrogen is low. Do you have insomnia? Do you have a hard time relaxing? Do you have a hard time eating a normal volume of food at one time? Does it take you a long time to recover after exercise? Do you have stomach tension? A tight chest? Trouble swallowing? Trouble maintaining a good mood?

These are all indications of low nitrogen levels, but don’t worry it’s fairly common just also very commonly overlooked.

How Do I restore my Nitrogen levels to normal?

Food is a great way to restore levels. Meats, Wheat, Corn, Nuts and Soybeans all have high nitrogen contents. Generously salting grains helps as salt helps nitrogen become more readily absorbable.

The best way and easiest way is to take Ammonium Chloride tablets, which are really hard to find. This supplement provides Nitrogen and will help restore levels quickly and efficiently. Early American doctors used to carry the substance, but our evolving health care system seems to have gone away from the easy way to treat things.

A great way of testing yourself for low nitrogen is to get a bottle of the Smell Sensitive Ammonium Chloride and smell it daily (which is available at Health to Heart). If it’s smell’s sweet, you need it. This smell will change as you build up your levels or if your diet becomes more rich in nitrogen.

For active people, people who have illness or people who are under a lot of stress, it’s more than likely you are very deficient in nitrogen. Building your levels back up will allow your body to cope with illness, physical labor and stress.

The Benefits of Adequate Nitrogen in the body:

1) Muscles are relaxed and strong. Decrease is strains and injuries. Less cramping, pain, migraines and headaches.

2) Hormones production becomes normal. Improvement of mood swings, depression, anxiety, fatigue and PMS.

3) Antihistamines are created and normal defenses are rebuilt. Allergic reactions should improve along with better tolerance of airborne irritants like smoke and chemicals.
