PREVENTING AN UN-BALANCED LIFESTYLE
SAY… YES TO PREVENTION!
Health is a Choice! Yes A Preventable and Reversible Choice!
Is it possible
that one can prevent or reverse “Dis-Eases” of the body with proper foods and natural
resources? Yes. The organs in the human body have the capacity to regenerate
and restore it to regain balance in health.
Let us first
understand what “Dis-Ease” of the body is, so we can better understand how to
prevent or reverse it. When your body is not functioning properly, there is an
imbalance somewhere, A chink in the chain, A missing link; A problem that needs
to be corrected. When an area of the body is under stress it causes problems to
another part of the body which then causes an issue to another section of the
body, and so on. It’s a domino effect, a chain reaction, a cycle; and if the
origin of the problem doesn’t get resolved it can worsen over time and now you
have a condition on your hands.
Now we all
know that there is a cause to every effect. A symptom is an effect of a cause categorized as stress.
When your body experiences a form of stress the effect of it can be a headache,
heart palpation, sluggish immune system; a spasm, congestion, or a fever just
to name a few. Symptoms are given to you by your body to let you know that
something is out of harmony; not in tune with the natural order of things.
Symptoms are nothing more than warning signs that something is wrong.
What is
Stress? Stress is the “Cause” of an imbalance somewhere to the body.

Stress is Mental,
Emotional, or Physical strain caused, by anxiety, overworking, smoking,
un-balanced diet, drugs, environment and much more. There is not just one thing
alone that causes stress to the body, it can be a combination of the things
mentioned above and more. Whatever the
stress, they all lead to a symptom if not taken care of immediately. Now some
of you may be saying that stress is a normal and natural part of life. It is
how we utilize our fight or flight response; it is how we learn to deal with
adversity. Well this is true. The problem arises when we don’t deal with our issues
and we don’t listen to the warning signals given and then small problems become
bigger problems and now we have a so-called incurable condition. These “Incurable
Conditions” caused by Stress/Stressors are given wonderful identities like asthma,
heart problems, arthritis, cancers, migraines, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis,
etc.
Now you have
an understanding of how we become imbalanced and un-well. The pattern is always
the same, Stress – Symptom – Condition. The origin of the stress can be a
variety of things that we sometimes think has nothing to do with the symptoms
we experience and when out of the blue we learn that we are suffering with a
condition is when we are ready to take action. I say Don’t Wait till you
reach the state of condition to make changes in your life. Make those changes
when you get the first warning sign that something you did, said, or thought is
causing you stress. Harming the natural flow of your being, making what once
was at Ease into a state of Dis-Ease can be detrimental in the long run.
Example of
this process:
STRESS
Bad Diet
Smoking
Abuse
SYMPTOM
Weight Gain
Difficulty
Breathing
Emotional
Imbalance
CONDITION
Obesity /
Diabetes
COPD / Lung
Cancer
Psychosis / Depression
Now let’s
look into ways of reversing or preventing these imbalances.
First
evaluate your current health condition as a whole (mind, body, emotion). Go to
your physician and check a thorough check-up. Note the warning signs your body
is giving you; know where your imbalances are and what major organs or systems
are affected. Look into what stressors can possibly cause the imbalance.
Lastly, ask yourself:
ü
Am
I ready to stop partaking in those bad habits that makes me suffer with
dis-ease in my body?
ü
Am
I ready to live a full and joyful life with family and friends?
ü
Then
look deep into your heart and ask yourself - Do I love myself enough to choose to
take my life into my hands and make proper changes that will better improve my
way of living?
Now is the
time to be the CEO of your health, of your body. Re-Educate yourself about the
foods you are eating is an important first step to preventing and reversing
Dis-Ease in the body. Learning what foods are nutritionally better for you and
your family will allow you all to live longer, happier and healthier; helping
the body to regenerate and heal itself overnight. Being physically active by
working out, taking walks or jogging; practicing yoga, tai chi or martial arts
is another great step to becoming physically strong and healthy. This will aid
in keeping good circulation flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients in your body. Taking
time out for self is another tool, quieting your mind, taking time out to
relax, reflect and rejuvenate can add years to your life. Meditating, Deep
breathing exercises, Spiritual worship or daily affirmations keeps the mind
calm and focused. Bringing the mind and body into a calm and relaxing state
also allows the body to focus on healing itself and replenishing many essential
components needed for daily functions. Community activities, social groups or
meet-ups help keep human interaction and contact. Now a day, we have become a
computerized virtual, texting, twitting, face-booking society and are losing
physical energy connections and social skills needed from person to person. We
stay sharp by staying mentally and physically active when dealing with people
of all ages, genders and status.
