How is Your Health, Really?
I have decided to create my blog posts around monthly themes, to keep consistency and to keep it interesting and valuable for you.
So, for the month of April, I chose Mindset & Mindfulness.
These past weeks have been very stressful for all of us and I believe if we start to create opportunities for ourselves during these bizarre times, out of all of the "bad" - "good" will eventually reappear.
How is our Health? Really?
Statistic tell us that our society is healthier than ever.
People grow older and life expectancy rates appear to have increased.
However, is a long life necessarily a healthier life?
When we look past the numbers, we see that childhood obesity is on the rise. We see that allergies have become out of control and we see chronic disease has jumped up exponentially within the past 50 years and let’s not forget Alzheimers disease and Dementia, both of them having been linked to chronic inflammation.
How is our health, really?
I believe a shift needs to happen in our society? What do you think?
A shift in our belief system, which assumes that we need to have to fight our symptoms.
The belief system that our symptoms ARE our disease
The belief system that health is the absence of disease.
Whether this means medical intervention for acid reflux as our first response or anti-depressants when we experience trauma and need to heal both inside and out. Sometimes it takes time and there is no quick fix.
How about if we start to listen to our bodies again, take a moment and listen to our symptoms, feeling them and then with a curious mind and a firm belief that our bodies are designed to always try to keep us alive, decipher where it is out of balance and needs our support.
ACID REFLUX:
Instead of reaching for the antacid right away, reach for the apple cider vinegar before meals. It’s likely that your stomach acid is actually too low.
TENSION HEADACHES:
Instead of reacing for the quick fix such as Tylenol, think back and look at your water intake for the day. It’s likely you are dehydrated or did you even move your body enough? Or perhaps you ate something that you are reacting to?
Yes, taking time to listen to your body is not a quick fix, which society has become so accustomed to.
But, what is happening in the world right now, is a clear indication to me that our internal health is not the most robust despite all of our medical advances.
What are your thoughts?
