Take Responsibility Of Your Life Now

By Liana Badea


Health is defined as a state of well being. The medical dictionary (Medilexicon) has three definitions for health. To summarize in few words, health is a state of the body when it functions optimally without evidence of disease. This state is characterized by a dynamic balance between the emotional and physical levels in the body.

The human body has its own healing mechanism, therefore we create our own health. To keep ourselves healthy we need to take care of our body. We need to develop strategies to activate the self healing mechanism, as well as methods to prevent diseases.

Majority of the disease can be prevented. We can not have a healthy society without taking preventive measures. Stress, lack of exercise, drug abuse, environmental toxicity are just a few examples of causes of diseases.

The most important prevention method is to stop polluting the environment. Pollution causes instability, disorder, harm and discomfort to all living organisms. American people are actually concerned about environmental pollution. We spend millions of dollars on emission control to keep from polluting our environment. We still need to do more for keeping the planet alive!

Stress generates disease. We create stress by poisoning our body and mind every day with toxic substances like alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other chemicals. We also create environmental stress like noise or crowding.

All these being said, we have to stop blaming the health care crisis. It is us to be blamed, as we don't take responsibility for our own bodies. Medical technology save lives, but improving lifestyle habits will even do more. Prevention should our first priority in life.

Conclusion

Start taking responsibility of your life now! Forget the expensive traditional medicine and switch to natural medicine. Healthy diets, use of herbal remedies instead of prescription drugs, walking, running, proper resting, will help you achieve a better overall life.
