I was reading an article in a health magazine that talked about "steps for a healthy lifestyle." They mentioned different things that you can do while in your 20's, then in your 30's, then different things to do in your 40's, and in your 50's. The article stated that your immune system starts to slow down in your 40's and risk of disease increases in your 50's. Why is that? An even better question to ask is, do you believe that age and disease should be synonymous?
I have heard so many people come to me and say, well I am in my 50's of course I have high blood pressure. An even better one is, "I can not understand why I do not have high cholesterol. I'm in my 60's, I should have high cholesterol." Why do we as a society accept disease, pain, and other ailments as a normal aging process?
Our Creator has given us all the power of health within our own bodies enabling your body to heal itself. It is not normal or healthy to have chronic pain or even the occasional cold or headache. A person can be unhealthy without any symptoms whatsoever. For example, 35% of all heart attacks happen without any prior symptoms or warning signs. Were those 35% healthy the day before their heart attack?
Germs are not necessarily the enemy. Think about it. Bacteria and Virus' have been around much longer than we have. We are constantly in contact. If it were 100% true that bacteria and virus's cause disease, then we would all be sick all of the time. Therefore, is it the germ, or is it our bodies ability to fight and attack that germ? If our nervous system functions at 100%, then the rest of our body functions at 100%. That includes the immune system's ability to fight for your health.
There are so many ways that we can get healthy, remain healthy, boost our immune systems, and prevent disease. The first step is to start taking responsibility for your own health. Your body was designed to know exactly what it needs. Listen to it! It does not matter if you are in your 20's or in your 80's. It is never too late to live a preventative lifestyle. Whatever your age may be, start moving! Exercise is one of the greatest ways to improve your health. Start eating fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Begin daily meditation, affirmations, or whatever it is that helps you De-stress, manage and organize your mind. Lastly, find balance within your nervous system through chiropractic adjustments to ensure 100% function of your entire body from today throughout the rest of your life. This is the preventative lifestyle. Get your family on board and live it!
Prevention is a lifelong commitment to you. You are worth it!
