It’s Your Health and Not Your Doctor’s

This is the last place you want to be when you’re not feeling well, but it’s inevitable and it’s necessary because we all depend on the expert advice of another and their ability to prescribe medicine that can hopefully heal.

Your health is yours! We all wish for better health and wellness so that we can live in harmony with our people and our goals. It’s wellness at stake that causes people to visit the doctor, not the need for pills and procedures.

Wellness can mean different things to different people. A person might want wellness for peace, happiness, harmony, energy, love, joy, health, connections, to protect another, and many more other values.

The truth is that when you see the doctor and he or she diagnoses you and then gives you a prescription. That is just one opinion and not the end for you.

It is the beginning of a full recovery and a “clean bill of health” or at least a much cleaner one.

If you agree with your doctor and take medicine, you’re on the way to healing. Healing comes from within but medicine can assist and help one along to a better state of health. Make sure to read all of the medicine information that comes with the prescription. Know what other substances and activities are not good to mix with the medicine. Then know that the ones not listed are not prohibited. As they might have said in a popular book , ‘there’s no prohibition on peace, harmony, and love’ (The Holy Bible, Galatians 5:23). You have your own freedom when it comes to the activities not warned against by your medicinal information.

The next and more important step is to decide your diet. The food pyramid is one of the best recommendations for the average person there is on procuring a healthy diet. The food pyramid is first, well-rounded and provides all nutrients in excess. If one follows the food pyramid for two weeks, then they would not need vitamins or supplements. The body would be able to utilize and synthesize all the vitamins, proteins, and nutrients it needs if one is able to follow the food pyramid. When a person is sick, it is of double the importance to have a healthy and health-giving diet, no matter the sickness. Generally, it’s important to get a lot of servings of healthy foods and much less of luxury foods, meats, fats, etc.

These are used to measure the structure of the body. But not the ultimate body!

The next step to be health conscious. No matter where you are in health, it can only help to know the truth about your health. If one know’s the truth, it is many times more possible to change for the better and become a better person. It’s also important to know your own pace in learning and becoming better. The most important thing about healing is to let your body heal at its own pace and to let the healing happen!

Exercise is also important. However, exercise has many shapes and sizes. The most important thing about exercise is that it helps a person’s brain and muscles to form new memories and have new experiences. If you have more experiences then its easier for your body to recover when faced with challenges and illness. Exercising can be anything from doing a crossword puzzle to running a marathon and everything in between too!

In achieving better health, the first step is to notice a problem. Seeing the doctor and having a prescription is just one of the steps along the way to being a better person. The goal is to get rid of that problem and prevent it from happening again the future and also to be well. The ultimate goal is achieving wellness!
