Confessions from a Personal Trainer: My body sends me signals through my armpits
Where every Tuesday: I confess.
Confession: My body sends me signals through my armpits. (see above)
I have been using natural deodorant for almost 3 years now. When I first transitioned to it I noticed I was super smelly and super sweaty. Now there will be times that I don’t even need deodorant and it’s not a huge crisis if I forget.
Traditional, typical deodorant clogs up your pores and toxins and bacteria build up under your skin (ewwwww!!!!!!). Once I got over the smelly, stinky, unclogging phase of my pit detox, I started to notice that whenever I wasn’t eating as clean or I don’t drink enough water, my armpits (mainly just one) got a red splotch.
It goes away when I eat clean, drink a ton of water and do the sauna regularly.
Weird.
I also notice that I get a small red splotch on my chest when I eat more sugary food. This is a yeast rash and shows some of the imbalances in my gut.
The body is so smart.
It is trying to tell you something.
- Do you get acne on your face at random times?
- Do you get random splotches like me?
- Do you get a rash?
- Do you have bad breath?
- Do you fart a lot?
- Do you have problems pooping?
- Do your joints ache more at certain times?
- Do you notice a change in your sleep pattern?
All of these things are signs that you should
PAY ATTENTION to your body.
- What does your body tell you?
- What are the signs?
- Do they correlate with changes in your eating? Your stress level? Your schedule? Times of the year? Your exercise patterns?
The more I learn, the more I am amazed at the human body and our power to change what is going on with what we eat, how we handle our stress, and how well we treat our bodies.
