Health awareness + Health goals + Health knowledge + Health investment + Persistence in action = Good Physical Health
[3] Health knowledge
I used to share this..."If you know what to do or can solve all health problems, it is because you know how. This 'know how' is appropriate knowledge applied. Thus likewise, to obtain health, we should at least must acquire health knowledge.
A doctor in the making needs at least 5 to 6 years. Learning is inevitable. Thus when one talk about good health, one should be at the very least know about preventive measures. One should at least know the reasons why one will get sick and how to prevent illness!
We have our immune system to heed, our repair system, our detoxifying system, our anti-aging system, our anti-stress and anti-cancer capabilities. What about our respiratory system, our digestive system, our immune system, our lymphatic system, our reproductive system and nervous system and all the lots...
One should learn about food pyramids, the importance of balanced diets and nutritional values of different types of food. It too include the awareness of the danger of wrong eating and over eating. And are we cooking healthy, eating healthy and seldom or take no rubbish foods!
The skill comes along with what to eat and not to eat, when to eat, how to eat, how much to eat! And the art of balancing what we eat. What about those habits or food that cause us to fall sick? How will rubbish foods or destructive foods affect all of us?
And more important of all, health should be achieved in all 4 dimensions of health, physical body, mind, emotion and spirit!
Once again, it is the know how, the preventive measures that all of us should acquire! Don't wait till it is too late.
[4] Health investments in the form of time and money!
All of us want health. We need to buy health, we need to invest time! Air, water, food and drinks... are they safe to breathe, take or eat? In this modern time, water filter is a must, food supplement is a must, balanced food is a must but are we doing them well?
How balanced is our food we take? 'Macro' refers to the 3 meals of the day. The 3 meals refers to the 'more' intake. 'Micro' refers to the trace minerals, vitamins, phyto-nutrients that our body also need but in small amounts. Too much of anything is never good, but lack of just one rare mineral or vitamin will cause havoc. To get a balanced diet is the most important duty in the maintenance of good and proper health.
Scientists have proven that our body needs at least 40 nutrients a day! It contains 10 types of amino acids that our body cannot make, some vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients to keep our body fit and healthy!
And we need time to do proper exercise. We need time to do relaxing or detoxifying. We need time to recover! We need to earn them...
This really is a vast topic! One can write tons of books just from health care. Thus are we willing to invest our money to buy all those healthy foods and food supplements or spend time to get to know more about preventive measures?
[5] Persistence in action
Nothing is more important than to be consistent and persistent in what one is doing. To achieve total health, one should never stop in action. Our body metabolism must keep on, our body cells must be fed well to go on living healthy and we need to survive fit!
The above 5 fundamental points that contribute to our good health is too important to ignore. Health knowledge, health care, health prevention are a MUST! One will not live to regret when one is equipped with the basic knowledge of self health care. It PAYS!
Many 'doctors of the future' will appear, talking about the same thing, on preventive measures to stay healthy! Many now are more health conscious and at least rays of hope are shinning amongst us. Thus good health is earned! My message of today, 'Stay healthier and be happier!'
