Our Health Journey

We are the sum of our parts and each of those parts is in someway interdependent on the other. If we injure ourselves and are not able to exercise, we tend to put on weight, feel sluggish and depending on the length of recovery, perhaps even depressed. The opposite can also be true; if we are overweight or depressed, it is often difficult to exercise. Many things can affect our mood which in turn can affect our overall health. Do you think that your diet only affects your body and not your brain? Do you think that your eyes are not dependent upon a good diet? Or that your teeth only need a good brushing and a good dentist. The fuel that our bodies depend on; the protein, the carbohydrates, the fat, the water, the vitamins and minerals are also needed to feed our brain. It has long been known that children who have had a nourshing breakfast do better in class. Why then do we as adults tend to skip this all important meal? Or worse yet, grab a donut or fast food fix? If it is really about time constraints, then grab a smoothie or a yogurt or even better yet, try a Shaklee Cinch Drink which gives your body the right grade of fuel in the best delivery system.

Often when we see a doctor it is for a specific ailment; headaches, allergies, and obesity to name a few. The popular treatments are with medicine that is targeted for that ailment only. If our diet is lacking in sufficient nutrients, we usually show symptoms; hair loss, weak nails, dry skin, headaches, rashes,etc. Why not also take a look at your diet.

If we’re stressed, don’t we feel it in our muscles. When we have a massage, doesn’t it ease the stress. Why is it that Spas are so popular. Could it be because they treat the whole person; diet,exercise, peaceful surroundings, lectures that educate and relaxation technics. Why not think Spa. If you can afford a Spa, great. If not, do your own with proper diet, exercise, and relaxation technics i.e., try putting your feet up and listening to beautiful music of your choice for 15 minutes. With that thought, I’m off to listen to my favorite piano music.
