Are you taking an active role in your health this year? Do you pay attention to your body's needs? There are few things in life that we are more responsible for than our own personal bodies. Yet, it's so easy to expect others - like experts, like the media, like the majority - to inform us what to do about our health. Sometimes, as with some majorities, the message we get is to do NOTHING about our health. Often, the other extreme is just as loud telling us to do everything imaginable to keep our bodies healthy.
The truth is we can learn from everyone and at the same time everyone is human and fallible. We are all going to get it wrong every once in a while - at least! The most important thing you can do for your health - as well as your family's - is to GET INVOLVED!
1) Ask Questions. No matter the issue or the person you're consulting with, determine to understand completely what the problem is and all of the options available to correct it.
2) Eat. Sleep. Play. A lot of our ailments can be improved with simple changes to how we eat, sleep and play (or exercise). Before you try to mask a problem with pills or procedures, see if you can make some positive changes in a one of these areas. Clean eating, plenty of water, adequate sleep and plenty of exercise does amazing things for your body. Don't believe it? Try it.
3) Research. What do you know about the varying treatments available? Look into the pros and cons of different areas, like herbal remedies, homeopathy, essential oils, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractors, medications, injections, surgeries, etc.
Your instincts and personal involvement are so important when it comes to your own health. This year, determine to take action with your healthcare options. In whatever way we can, we hope to support you in being the best and healthiest you in 2014!
