Day 38. 💪🏽A different kind of #FlexFriday!💪🏽 My finger nails used to be brittle, split, cuticles a wreck, and hang-nails bled. Ouch! Since I was 25, I paid salons for acrylic overlays to keep my nails from breaking and looking professional. Last summer, I decided to make a shift. No more acrylics, save my lungs from the chemical fumes and saved $400+. Today, I got careless and tried pulling something out of the deep freeze that was stuck and my point finger nail bent all the way backwards. Ladies, do you know what I mean? It hurt for 5 seconds. It snapped right back, no cracks in the nail and doesn’t hurt anymore. Yay! My gut microbiome reconstruction is working! What does gut health have do to with strong nails? Among many other benefits of a healthy gastrointestinal tract, I am absorbing all the amazing nutrient-dense, plant-based whole food that I put in my mouth to nourish every cell in my body. My circulatory system is getting the nutrients all the way to the tip of my fingers and toes. My repair, rebuild and regenerate signals—metabolic damage and repair seesaw are functioning at optimal performance levels. My body has a plentiful supply of ATP energy to meet the demands that all those metabolic assembly line and biochemical progresses require. My aloe vera based protocols are supporting my body’s ability to natural produce collagen—an essential component to making our body’s tissues. Also, this past week, my sleep has been so on point for 8-9 hours (4 REM and 40 minute S-4 per night that I wake up at the same exact time every day without an alarm. 7:30am is very specific. I have no idea why my body picked that time. How does sleep matter to finger nails? Much of our body’s healing and cellular repair processes happen in deep, quality sleep. Wow! This was a long post. I’m done now.
