Worth Noting:
- As they are mobilise, the patients’ sweats as he exercises and in this way metabolites in layman’s language toxins or chemical that cause disease and addiction are all removed Through this way we craving is effectively done away with. Withdrawal symptoms like myalgia, headaches, joint pains, depression, stress, highblood pressure, in some cases diabetes etc.
- Other comorbidities related to alvoholism such as high cholesterol, muscular atrophy/muscle wastage, elective dysfunction or impotence, lowsef esteem, nervous disorders, mental disorders etc will be resolved one by one as the body starts regulating all its hormones. As the client now progresses and with also administration of other necessary drugs and diuretics (Natural supplements that cause the body to expel metabolites through sweat and urine-example such as the CAROTENE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR with mother and other natural electrolytes)
An Exercise Physiologist prescribes exercise just like normal or conventional medication is prescribed. The Exercise Physiologist will first do a diagnosis using various diagnostic equipment on the patient (in this case the Alcohol challenged client)
The patient will be passed through body composition tests which will include a full haemogram where possible, check on body fat content, body mass index, basal metabolic rate, Oxygen saturation, spirometry tests, blood sugars, Blood pressure, heart rates, flexibility tests, strength tests, lipid profile or cholesterol check, Range of motion tests, physical activity readiness, medical history etc.
From the above and other tests the physiologist will now calculate the Maximal Heart Rate which will now be the basis of the Exercise prescription.
At percentages of between 70% to 85% of maximal heart rates the exercises start mobilising hormones. We have to remember that most of the curative drugs that we use to treat are hormonal. In another way they regulate hormones in our body so that we can get cured.
In this respect, exercises will mobilise feel good hormones such as Epinephrine/adrenalin, norepinephrine, dopamine, cortisol, oxytocin, endorphins among others such as LSH, GH, TESTOSTERONE, ANDROESTERONE, PROGESTERONE, LH, TSH etc. Don’t mind about the latter group, think of the feel good hormones.

Needless to say within three months we expect the body of the client to have changed in matters of body composition, strength, flexibility, functioning capacity etc. The client is now mutating into another self. We expect also that the prescribed diet also is geared towards renewal of the bodily systems. Among the foods this patient will take, we will infuse natural vegetable and fruit smoothies that will turn the stomach an inhabitable environment for Alcohol. In this matter everytime the client imbibes alcohol exceeding 100mls he will vomit the same.
Of course we expect counseling is also being done to incorporate the new person developing.
The exercise timetable may or may not be scheduled at the same time everyday. Though conditioning has been seen to influence behavior.
In due course the patient should be able to peg their own fitting time for exercise. With regulation of hormones through exercise the patient will eventually stop taking other drugs he used to.
We must remember that an Exercise Physiologist is the one who prescribes these exercises and diagnosis-not a gym instructor.
We will need diagnostic equipments for cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary exercise, strength, flexibility, range of motion,toning etc. Water is very important when exercising and so we shall expect that before the end of the 2 hour period of exercise about 1 to 2 litres of water will have been taken of course this also depends on body size.
Remember that as the body gets cleaned, so shall it be aversive to chemicals that destroy it. The system of exercise will help the client have a clear mind and look back at the past and focus for the future. After discharge the client is expected to foster new friendships in a health club, sports club, community group or any other new group pulling him away from previous peer group.
After every week the client will be expected to check muscle growth, BP, Blood sugars, wait, abdominal circumference, biceps and other muscle. The client is encouraged to set targets either for weight gain if atrophied, or weight-loss if obese. Every check every week is a new motivation and a new goal. A new purpose for living. We expect also to train new soft skills to this client either as a hobby or a future income generating activity. We shall later look at some of these soft skills. Remember again we do jot necessarily need our client to be in a rehab centre I, t can still be done in support groups. Exercise support groups have been most instrumental in drug rehabilitation. We shall see how in a later issue.
