Do you feel "older" than you are? Are you having trouble losing weight? Do you suffer from allergies, nervous tension, and general lack of energy? Remember, a tree doesn't die overnight, it's a slow, progressive, degenerative process. You know what you eat, drink, and put on your body. But, do you truly know? Do you really care? Or, do you just assume if it's on the shelf in your local grocery store that it must be safe? Do you figure as long as you're not too sick, it's just age catching up with you?
Pain is the culmination of long-term under nutrition, inactivity, and the end result is the body's way of telling you it's having trouble with your habits. Chemicals are present in all processed foods, clothing and beauty products. Don't take my word for it, go take a TV dinner out of the freezer and read some of the ingredients. Can you pronounce everything? Get a can of room air-freshener. There's a warning that tells you: "Breathing ingredients can be harmful or fatal." The same warning is on the label of your antiperspirant. I could go on, but the list is endless. We tend to overlook what is so familiar, but the end result is sickness. The form of sickness is irrelevant but inevitable. I could not tell you what type of illness to expect, no one can, certainly not the producers of these products.
Pharmaceuticals are another issue, deadly as well. But again, the list is too long to go into right now. Anything man-made (synthetic) it's safe to assume, can't be safe.
Lack of knowledge about how your body functions and ignoring its needs are major contributing factors to ill-health. Identify and investigate disorders such as digestion, insomnia, lack of energy, allergies, or any other suspected health problems. No one knows you like you. Take control, and don't assume everything is ok, or worse, HOPE that it is.
The Future:
Envision yourself on your back in the hospital and your doctor looking back at you. You look at him for answers and you trust he'll see you through this. Could it be the removal of a toe or foot do to diabetes? Maybe there's a malignant tumor attached to a major organ and you wonder how it got there. All of these questions lead to the same answer as you lie there. You're a stranger to this entire situation, you try to understand why you did nothing when you had the chance. Your doctor told you to get some exercise, lose weight, eat right, and educate yourself to proper nutrition. You wish you did something before he had to say anything. You knew something was wrong long ago, but instead, worse, you did nothing.
If you don't have your health, then what else matters? Your body can take a lot of abuse. Think about what it can do for you if you just make small changes now. There's time to turn the tide in your favor. Do just one positive thing for yourself today, and your body will let you live for it.
Look at the alternatives and make the changes now. Good luck! Graham
