Your Natural Path To Health and Wellness – Part 1

 My path to Health and Wellness started from discovery !

The reason I decided to work with health & wellness products is because I, myself, am very passionate about what these products can do for us, for others, what they’ve done for me, and the lifestyle that really happens behind the business.

All this is coming from less than optimal health for many years. In fact, I had allergies, illness, fatigue. All of these things I effectively ignored for many years until it progressed to a point that they just couldn’t be ignored anymore, and I learned sadly that when the Check Engine light comes on, you can’t just stick a piece of duct tape over it and keep driving.

If you are in your 20′s or even 30′s you usually do not pay much attention to your Health and Wellness, unless you start experiencing some problems, but then you still can go and rely only on your doctor’s advice.  After some time spent at the doctors office I realized I wasn’t getting the answers I wanted from allopathic medicine.

This is how I started me on a journey of discovery that eventually led to two important realizations. The first is that I woke up to the fact that I had a choice to think and act differently than what everybody was telling me to do, and the second is –  that I should study nature more and act according to nature, whose rules are few, plain, and most reasonable.

If you reading this you have either already been turned on to natural products and our lifestyle or someone cares about you enough and would like you to take a look at these concepts and ideas that can improve your health and possibly expand your capacity to enjoy life at a greater level. Whichever it is, you are in a great position and, again, it’s an honor that you would spend some of your valuable time reading this blog. Your time won’t be wasted.

There are two really important points related to Health and Wellness.

The first is preventive, natural health and the other is cleansing.

To the first point, the hardest thing about obtaining optimal wellness is changing our own attitude of mind. That’s really what natural health is all about and that is learning a new approach to health that doesn’t allow you to settle for less than your best healthy self and doesn’t allow you to become a victim of what you currently see as your health inheritance, or a bad doctor or bad genes or anything else. It teaches you to become the master of your own health fate. A great natural health leader, Bernard Jensen, encapsulated this concept very well when he said, “We don’t catch a disease. We create them by breaking down the natural defense according to the way we eat, drink, think, and live.”

Applying health and wellness to our thoughts

We are What We Think

The word that should jump out to you here is “think.” When we are ignorant, afraid, or over-whelmed, we think negative, stressful thoughts. This, coupled with the vast quantities of things we are doing wrong, like junk food and beverages that we consume and the fact that we encounter more environmental toxins in one day than our ancestors encountered in an entire lifetime, all of these things compromise our health and lead to the underlying cause of the major health conditions –oxidation and chronic, systemic inflammation.

In Health and Wellness what happens most often and downgrades our health is Inflammation…

In fact, I’d like to change that famous bumper sticker that says, “S….. Happens.”

you probably know that one?

Here I need to change that one now to “Inflammation Happens” because inflammation does happen as part of the natural healing process. It’s something we can’t avoid, but it’s something we definitely need to be interested in controlling. We have to control this because the problem is that when this becomes a chronic, cyclical condition, when our cells and tissues suffer insults or wounds because of how we eat, drink, think, and live damage happens, inflammation occurs, and the body needs essential nutrients to repair the problem and heal.

That’s why (when we eat poorly) it not only causes inflammation, it also deprives our body of the things it needs to put the fire out. This bad health and wellness condition triggers the major killers, like heart disease, cancer, and their precursors like diabetes and obesity. Our lifestyles tax our body’s resources to such an extreme that we don’t get enough nutrients in our diets to repair the damage. This leads to an inflammatory fire that never gets extinguished.

There is a lot of misconception in natural health industry and if you follow my articles I will show you how to choose right products, therapies, services, programs (as I deal with those topics for over 25 yrs).

Well,… to answer that question we need to start completely new topic.
