Remaining mindful of what I fuel myself with has truly has made all the difference in my world. Your world will vary, of course, as all worlds do. It's also the most difficult challenge I've faced and accepted, thus far, not that I had many, if any, choices left after being repeatedly let down and made much worse via meds of all varieties.
All things greatly effect our sensitivities, some much more than we could ever imagine, or even wish to. Including medications, thoughts, beverages, foods, tv programming, music choices, what we choose to consume, apply, and surround ourselves with in all areas of our lives, internet choices, consistently and daily practicing of all the things we've found to be therapeutic, etc. It's all very much connected to how well we feel and function.
If I get a shitty night's sleep, choose caffeine to repeatedly wreck my adrenal glands within a day, clog the flow of my arteries/energies by eating factory farmed meats along with a bunch of highly processed fast/convenient foods and beverages, keep choosing puss and mucus forming dairy, etc., not to mention the energies of the animals being used as products, inflammation forming breads, muffins, so-called bakery/sweet "treats", etc., toxic diet sodas/energy drinks/sweet teas, etc. then add medications on top of all of that, which only work to further deplete my nutrients, I'm going to be snippy, snappy, and much more reactive, if I'm able to even muster up the energy. Been there, lived that.
You can't out exercise all those choices. No matter how hard you try. If your gut health isn't good to begin with and your body can't healthily absorb what it needs, which takes ongoing mindful attention to even recognize along with time and much patience to allow yourself to try to heal, vigorous exercise could harm more than it helps by forming painful acids. I don't remember the exact details or the source I saw about that a long time ago, but it made so much sense and I've found it to be true in my life. None of this may apply to you, and if not, I apologize for wasting your time yet again. Best wishes in figuring it out as it applies to your specific biology and needs.
