Shortcuts Only Give Short Results

by

dave_061--1It would be a fantastic life if all the shortcuts we heard about actually worked. In reality very few ever give the results they promote, and so it goes with the health and wellness industry.

Yes, sadly, the health & fitness industry has a tendency to take advantage of quick fixes. Take this pill, follow this diet, do this workout, and all will be well, you won’t even have to break a sweat.

I’m sorry folks, but the body doesn’t work that way, not when it comes to lasting, long- term health. The body is designed to heal itself when given the basics of health and wellness, and there is no cheating it.

The way to health and wellness may not be wrapped up in some high intensity, glamorous, infomercial with hot bodies showing their results, but it works, it works every time, and it is the way our body’s are designed.

Tried and true, the body responds well with proper nutrition, quality sleep, hydration, quality breathing, exercise, and a proper mindset.

A majority of health issues can be resolved when the body is given the time and basic inputs to heal itself. This can’t be done with pills or quick fixes.

Most people turn to quick fixes out of confusion and despair. They feel they have nowhere else to turn. They feel they’ve tried everything. They are filled with frustration and doubt. When they hear of products or services that will give the results they desire, they fall prey to the quick fix.

Some of these shortcuts, or quick fixes are fat burners, thermogenetics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, diuretics, antacids, anti-histamines, and cholesterol lowering drugs, high blood pressure meds,  antidepressants, and the list goes on.

Please understand I believe there is a time and place for the ethical use of some of these drugs under the supervision of a doctor. However, most are over used because we would rather not have to take a long-term approach to healing our bodies. In most cases, many of us feel it is easier to take a pill than put in the effort to clean up our eating, drink more water, start an exercise program, get quality sleep, breathe deep, and condition our minds.

We live in a world that expects instant gratification. We feel we shouldn’t have to work for, or put forth any energy, or time for the results we desire as long as we can pay someone else to do it for us.

Health and wellness comes as a result of a lifestyle, a lifestyle that follows the components of health and wellness. There are no shortcuts.

Short cuts have a way of catching up to us. They never solve the issue, they just put it off.

Don’t fall prey to short cuts. Live a life of health and wellness. If you don’t know what that means then reach out and ask. Take the time to know. I am here to help you on this journey,

I wish for you Vibrant Health!

Healing The Person Not The Dysfunction

by

Fotolia_6950214_Subscription_XLWe in the western world are accustomed to solving the problems at hand without many time looking deeper at the true cause.

In western allopathic medicine there are ointments, pills, wraps, therapies, and surgery to resolve our health and wellness issues. The challenge is much of the time we are only addressing the outer physical dysfunction and ignoring the true cause within person.

When we address health and wellness in an integrative and holistic approach we look deeper into helping the person heal along with the dysfunction. Better stated we always want to help the person heal their spirit, mind, and body so that the body will then heal itself.

Remember, our bodies are amazing. They have the innate ability to heal themselves if given a chance.

When you are experiencing health issues, and or pain, certainly you should seek the advice of your doctor. However it is also an important moment to question what brought on the issue.

If I asked you what brought on your health issues most will say “ I don’t know” and I am sure that is probably true.

Yet it is our body that is experiencing the health issue. Why are we so blind to the causes?

We have never been taught how our bodies work. No one has ever told us how to help the body heal. Just as importantly we are reliant on the medical field to just tell us what’s wrong and by doing so we give our own power to heal ourselves away.

This power I speak of is nothing more than the knowledge, skills, and ability we need to acquire to help ourselves.

There are certain fundamental components to creating health and wellness in our lives. I have spoken of them frequently. What now needs to happen is for all of us to begin to implement them into our lives.

By implementing these 6 simple steps of health and wellness you can help your body heal itself, and in doing so create a life of health and wellness many people never get to experience.

Each one of these components is a simple step you integrate into your life at an optimum level. Starting from the top are your thoughts, then breathing, hydration, nutrition, exercise and sleep. Now there is much more than to say I already do those things, because of course we all do, but it the level at which you do them that makes the difference between healing or taking the path to illness and disease.

This is the concept in healing the person not the dysfunction.

To continually address the health issues and not address what a person is doing to their body that is causing the health issues is the definition of insanity.

Each and every one of us holds the power to make the best choices for our spirit, mind, and body. No one forces us to eat poorly, or abuse our bodies in the many ways that are available, whether it’s smoking, drinking, or any other type of abuse.

Happiness, health, and wellness have a simple formula. It first must start with a commitment to take responsibility for your actions, and stepping forward into healing yourself.

Illness, injury, and disease, many times are only due to our body’s inability to fight off the stages of the dysfunction. On the other hand when we live a lifestyle of health and wellness our bodies are well equipped to heal and defend against possible health challenges.

I would love to help you begin this journey of health and wellness.

I wish for all of you Vibrant Health!
