LIVE LONG & WELL
Living LONG is GOOD, however living long while enduring chronic health problems is not as pleasant as living LONG while in a state of WELLNESS. Most, if not all, chronic health issues are a result of premature aging of the body.
Preventing premature aging allows us to live LONG without being OLD. Biological aging is a result of what happens in our cells, NOT with the tick of the clock or when the pages turn on our calendars. Throughout the life cycle of the cell it can be damaged in many different ways including exposure to any of the following:
Ø Stress
Ø Injury
Ø Lack of proper nutrients
Ø Exposure to toxins
Any one of the above conditions will cause the production of free radicals and inflammation in the body. Free radicals and inflammation are the major causes of premature cell death, resulting in the premature aging of the body as a whole. Imagine how much damage is being done in your body at this very minute! In our culture today we aren’t just occasionally exposed to a single one of these conditions, our bodies are bombarded with cell damaging stress and toxins constantly. Our fast paced society also leads us to ignore our nutritional needs, as we rush along seldom taking the time to eat as nutritiously as we should. When more cells die than your body can replace, premature biological aging occurs. Our bodies need the highest quality nutrition possible in order to win the battle and prevent these causes of premature cell death.
God designed your body to be a “healing machine”, supplied with the proper fuel and rest, the body works miraculously well. When properly maintained our body’s immune system is able to repair the damage caused by the daily wear and tear of “life”. The problem begins when we expose our bodies to the stress and life style of our modern age. When the body’s immune system is overwhelmed with damaging conditions, cells begin to die at abnormal rates and chronic inflammation begins to contribute to overwhelming cell damage. Dead and severely damaged cells must be removed before infection and further illness occurs, using more of the resources the body needs to heal. At this point, a vicious cycle has begun and the body begins to age prematurely; often at a much accelerated rate.
HOW DO WE LIVE LONG & WELL?
Preventing premature aging requires us to consciously supply our bodies with the necessary components needed to prevent our immune system from being overwhelmed. The damaging factors listed above must be avoided when possible. At the same time, we need to be realistic. Obviously, our culture does not allow us to completely eliminate stress, exposure to toxins or accidental injury. Following these basic guidelines will aid immensely in protecting our bodies from premature aging:
Ø REDUCE THE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE AND LEARN HOW TO RELIEVE THE STRESS YOU ARE FEELING (Some great ways to deal with stress are found here: FREE STRESS RELIEF)
Ø AVOID EXPOSING YOUR BODY TO UNNECESSARY TOXINS AND SUPPLY YOUR BODY WITH GOOD ANTIOXIDANT FOODS AND POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT SUPPLEMENTS
Ø SUPPLY YOUR BODY WITH HIGH QUALITY NUTRITIONAL FOODS AND THE HIGHEST QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS AVAILABLE (It is very difficult in our culture to supply your body with adequate nutrition without using high quality supplements.)
Ø PROPERLY CARE FOR ANY INJURIES AIDING THE BODY IN HEALING THE INJURY QUICKLY (Not properly caring for an injury can quickly lead to chronic inflammation)
Ø FIGHT CHRONIC INFLAMMATION WITH THE FINEST NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AVAILABLE TO YOU
Many scientific studies indicate that chronic inflammation is at epidemic levels in our culture and contributes to a host of serious health problems including:
Ø CHRONIC PAIN
Ø DIABETES
Ø ALLERGIES
Ø ASTHMA
Ø NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE
Ø RESPIRATORY AND MORE!
IN CONCLUSION
We can live lives filled with WELLNESS by following a few basic practices that allow our bodies to function the way God intended. WELLNESS will allow us to live the quality of life we desire; enjoying our time with family to the fullest. Let’s begin a journey to greater WELLNESS today!!!
