Your Health is in Your Hands!

A Chinese proverb says: "You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair."

Along the same lines, we can stay healthy no matter what flu bug or virus is going around, nor do we need to succumb to those unpleasant diseases so prevalent in our society.

Good health basically depends on monitoring two main factors: toxicity and deficiency

• too many toxins are polluting the body while at the same time

• too few nutrients are taken in to assist the body in doing a proper job.

Detoxify

Physically - Emotionally - Mentally - Spiritually

To detoxify the body we need to

• flush out physical waste and cellular debris,
• clean out our bodily sewage system as well as
• deal with emotional toxins of anger, fear, worry, jealousy etc.

 
Nourish

Physically - Emotionally - Mentally - Spiritually

Simultaneously to nourish the body we need to

• flood the body with power nutrition full of life-giving vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants
• minimize empty calories of white flour, white sugar, processed fast food.

 

Ages ago, Hippocrates already knew

"Let your food be your medicine..."

Good health is supported by regular exercise as well as feeding our soul, nurturing our spiritual connection with the Divine, including gratitude, appreciation, forgiveness in our habitual thoughts.

Not to forget relaxation and the best medicine, laughter. Norman Cousins describes in "Anatomy of an Illness" how it helped him heal from ‘incurable’ disease.

No matter what state your health is in, it’s up to YOU to improve it. It may not be easy to shift habits of a lifetime but it may be the most rewarding decision ever.

Mahatma Ghandi said: "The future depends on what we do in the present."

• We can focus on where we want to go instead of where we are coming from.
• We can start caring about ourselves enough to do whatever it takes to make us feel really good.
• We can start today to educate ourselves, empower ourselves, take responsibility for our own health physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
• We can ask ourselves daily: "what would it take to create a happier, healthier ME?"

The future is hopeful if we start acting now.
