Are you aware that almost every condition or ailment you can name produces symptoms only after it has been present for an extended period of time, sometimes years? This is why right now we have millions of people who look good and feel fine but are literally dying inside from cancer, heart disease, diabetes and more. That is why how you look or feel can never accurately assess health.
The first step to health is realizing that it’s all about how well your body works, not just how it feels. If your lungs take ½ as many respirations per minute as they should they’re not healthy, if they work to expel carbon dioxide and inspire oxygenated air in the proper amount and with the correct timing, they are. Only a body that is working the way it is intended is actually healthy.
Next, picture your health as a spectrum. On the far left you have disease (things are not working well); on the far right you have wellness (near perfect working order of your body). Each of us on a daily basis will fall somewhere between these 2 points and will either regress or progress to one end or the other. The direction we travel depends on 3 main factors – how we care for our bodies physically, what we put INTO it nutritionally and how we care for ourselves emotionally. If today your input in these 3 areas is good (not perfect) you’ll progress toward better health. If the input is poor, you’ll regress toward disease. Each day you do this you’ll get closer to one end or the other.
Finally, understand that better health rewards you with more enjoyment and vitality. With better health you’ll have more time to enjoy and contribute to all the people and activities that you love. In fact, there is likely nothing that you can name that would not be better with improved health.
As a chiropractor I pride myself on not only being an expert on how to make people feel better but more importantly how to help and motivate them to actually become healthier. I have the privilege on a daily basis of witnessing how better health can change lives and would be happy to play a part in helping you change yours.
In great health,
