Wellness & Fitness
Nutrition equals wellness. It’s not just luck-of-the-draw. The majority of your long-term health outcome allows for your input and involvement, you just have to start being accountable to yourself now. Don’t forget that our current health care system is based on putting out fires – not preventing them, as is the training of most of our health care practitioners. Until our society shifts from focusing on sickness to prioritizing health, you must take control of your own health and make informed decisions. Incorporate the prevention advice from health care experts like Dr. Mercola, Dr. Oz, Dr. Weil, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell. Be accountable. Be knowledgeable. Be in charge.
Knowledge truly is a powerful tool. Go read books by some of today’s leading prevention experts so you are prepared and educated. Many cultures around the world live far longer than others and it all relates to food and nutrition. Books like Blue Zones, Anticancer, and The China Study will potentially change and save your life if you incorporate their research and teachings! Take a nice long walk to your local library.
