Balanced Body Chemistry 

Human body is approximately 99% comprised of just six elements; Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Calcium and Phosphorus. Another five elements make up about 0.85% of the remaining mass; Sulfur, Potassium, Sodium, Chlorine and Magnesium.

So the term body chemistry applies to all processes that occur inside the body. All these processes are made possible by the chemicals that the body produces.

 From this definition of body chemistry, we can define balanced body chemistry as having the right amounts of chemicals that support the proper functioning of the body.

The health of a person is said to be good when his body chemistry is well balanced. To attain this balance, your body continually needs the nutrients provided by the food that you eat. You get proteins (amino acids), vitamin, minerals and fats which are used for maintaining and sustaining the operations of the body. Too much or too little of these nutrients could lead to health problems.

How does body chemistry affects your body? Every day, your biochemistry constantly changes. It changes when you eat, study, work, exercise, and sleep. When you eat, the sugar in your blood increases; after jogging your heart rate goes faster, or your blood pressure rises after arguing with somebody.

Whatever you do that leads to changes creates either a balance or imbalance in your body chemistry which means that these changes can be damaging or beneficial.

When your weight is just about right, meaning you are neither fat nor thin, your blood pressure is normal and you do not suffer from any kind of health problems; then, you have balanced body chemistry. Conversely, when you weigh more or less than you should, you are likely to have abnormal blood pressure and suffer from various health problems; then, you have imbalanced body chemistry.
