With the growing number of medical issues surrounding the current
health care system, people are becoming increasingly frustrated with
treatment results and the expense of maintaining personal health. Are
you concerned about or wondering if it's possible to naturally treat
health issues without killing yourself? A growing number of people are
turning to alternative medicine and natural health care
and doing so very successfully. Natural, everyday, common sense methods
of preventing illness and maintaining optimal health do exist.
What does your body need to maintain proper health?
This
is a question that continues to be asked, why, I don't know, because
there are no hidden secrets about this. In fact I'm sure you probably
already know the answer.
o Proper diet
It
is known that many health problems (heart disease, high blood pressure,
diabetes, stroke and others) are exasperated by improper and poor diets.
We live in a fast paced world driven by extreme commercialism that
bombards us with images of super sized hamburgers, fries and extra large
sodas. Many of our foods come in boxes loaded with artificial
ingredients and real, un-natural, man-made chemicals to help us exist in
our fast paced life. The first thing we need to do in maintaining our
health is to get back to a healthy natural food based diet.
o Moderate exercise
Sitting
on the couch watching TV or driving the car to the mailbox is not
moderate exercise. Walking, bicycling, swimming, tennis, hiking,
gymnastics, dancing and weight training are forms of exercise that we
need in our daily lives. Achieving 30 minutes of some form of
cardiovascular activity several times a week has a huge payback in
maintenance of health, appearance, and well being.
o Excess avoidance (drugs, alcohol, fast food, smoking)
There
is no mistake that excessive use of drugs, alcohol, fast food and
smoking have a detrimental effect on health. If you are using any of
these substances in excess you can expect to live a much shorter and
unhealthier life. Even if you use these substances in moderation you may
experience a shorter and unhealthier life.
