SO What Does It Mean To Take Charge of Your Health?

The 3 legs to  wellness management are:

1. Maintaning a healthy weight for your body
and eating healthy foods such more plants
(friuts and vegetables) and less processed foods,
fast foods and less meat and dairy. 

2. Your body was meant to move. Exercise, exercise,
exercise.

3.  Having a strong spiritual connection.  Attitude is everything
and having a belief and connection to something greater
than our physical selves is empowering.   We know a positive outlook
is so important in managing our wellness.

These are obvious, you might say.  But how many of us
actually do these things.  These are the ABC,s.  I think
becoming "Wellness Managers" instead of " Disease Managers"
goes beyond these ABC.s.

You need to become a full-fledged partner with your medical team.
Ask questions of your physician, and do your own research.  Your life depends
on it.  A large number of medical personnel do a great job of connecting with our
total being and others are more pill dispensers and surgeons.  Make sure you know
well the members of your team.

But mostly remember, the first step is up to YOU.
Take action.  It is estimated that 80% of what is on your plate
causes degenerative diseases, the lifestyle diseases of heart disease, diabetus
stroke and cancer.  Start small, one bite at a time, one meal at a time.
A trite saying, " the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".
The first 2 steps are the most difficult.

So TAKE ACTION, be in charge of your health.  You are so worth it!
You are so much more than you have ever dreamed. 

Have a blessed day!!
