1)
THE MIND/BODY CONNECTION.
Without a doubt, every illness and disease process in the body
has an emotional trigger at its core. It can be as dramatic as
cancer to as trivial as an upset stomach, a cold, or a stubbed
toe. You are what you think, and what you think, you attract to
you. This is the Law of Attraction, and it is the operating system
of the universe. Use it to improve the quality of your life by
thinking thoughts that make you feel good inside. Replace negative
thoughts and emotions with positive ones such as joy, gratitude,
appreciation, empowerment, freedom, and love. Instead of focusing
on your pain or illness, find things in your life to be grateful
for. Use any form of daily meditation to align body, mind, and
spirit.
2) STRESS. Stress causes changes in body biochemistry
that will impair the immune system's ability to keep you healthy.
Although stress can take many different forms, it is nothing
more than an opportunity for personal growth. Reducing or eliminating
stress in your life can be as simple as changing your perspective
on how you look at something. Remember that you do not have
control over what someone else does, only what you do.
3) NUTRITION. Eat fresh and raw fruits and vegetables
whenever possible. Raw foods contain natural digestive enzymes
that help your body to digest that food. Once you heat food,
either on the stove, in the oven, or in the microwave, the heating
process destroys some of these naturally occurring digestive
enzymes making it more difficult to break down that food. Beside
not being able to absorb all the nutrients within food, the
end result of undigested food in the body is putrification which
causes gas, bloating, and acid reflux. Taking digestive enzymes
with meals may help you better digest the foods in your diet.
For better nutrition, incorporate juicing into your daily regiment
of eating. Juicing raw fruits and vegetables gives your body
unsurpassed concentrated food quality without the quantity.
4) OXYGEN. Your body needs oxygen, and lots of it.
Deep breathing several time a day will ensure that your body
gets the oxygen that it needs. Deep breathing is also a great
stress reducer.
5) EXERCISE. Exercise, exercise, exercise! Your body
needs daily exercise for proper functioning to occur. A minimum
of 30 minutes a day is essential.
6) SUNLIGHT. Your body needs a minimum of 30 minutes
of natural sunlight every day. Sunlight not only aids in vitamin
metabolism, but it also enhances brain biochemistry. It makes
you feel good, and it's good for you.
7) WATER. You are thirsty! Drink more water, not coffee.
The body is composed of mostly water and as such, it needs to
be constantly flushed out and replenished. Eliminate coffee
and soda from your diet altogether. Both caffeine and NutraSweet
negatively affects hormones and brain chemistry.
8) SUPPLEMENTS. A good multivitamin/ mineral regiment
ensures that your body is getting optimal levels of nutrients
for proper functioning. Remember that the RDA is the minimum
daily amount of vitamin and minerals that your body needs to
prevent chemical and neurological breakdown. It was never meant
to represent optimum health.
9) HOLISTIC THERAPY. There are more and more types
of holistic therapies and alternative health practitioners available
today than ever before. We use natural therapies to find the
source of energy blockage within the body and correct it. We
keep our patients healthy by unlocking the healing potential
within the body. So take a pro-active role in your own health
and utilize holistic therapies on a regular basic to maintain
health and wellness in your life.
10) THE SECRET TO LIFE. Everyone has their own idea
of what this statement means to them. Look within to find your
own truth, and allow others the freedom to find their own. Listen
to your feelings and intuition more, for they are the windows
to your higher consciousness. Love and accept yourself completely.
Practice forgiveness of yourself and others whenever possible,
for what you see in others is merely a reflection of what lies
within you. When you replace judgment of self and others with
love, acceptance, and forgiveness, your world will change before
your eyes.
