Health Is Not A Switch

“The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Thomas Edison

As I suggested in a previous blog post Irish Medicine is just not working. Of course Medicine will always have its’ place in our world and some of us would not be alive today if it was not here. But, the end result of using drugs, surgery, injections, and lotions to promote health is clearly not working. We spent 8% of the nations gross national product on our health care service which approximates to almost €3000 per head of the population. Yet despite spending all this money Ireland is only ranked at 20 in the world in its health system performance according to the W.H.O. Why? Well contrary to what we are led to believe health is not a switch, you cannot switch it on or switch it off.

Nothing in life ever stays still; it is either growing or dying and health is no different it never stays still; you are either getting sicker or getting healthier! The direction you go in is entirely up to you!

A suitable analogy is your bank account, take too much out and not put enough back in, what happens? Well you become overdrawn and start receiving aggressive letters from the bank. If the imbalance continues eventually the bank starts repossessing things!

Your health is no different, we are all born with a health healing account if we continually abuse our bodies and do nothing to readdress the balance, our health healing account will inevitably go in to the red, and low and behold we become sick!

So what can you put back in to your Health healing account or to push you back towards better health?
Move Well
Eat Well
& Think Well
And that is all. How simple is that?
In the next BLOG we will discuss these 3 components!
