Natural Health is Best

You might consider it peculiar, that nowadays when so many people are well informed, they don't care for their bodies with due reverence. Paradoxically, the body is often abused by the purposeful, or airborne, intake of unhealthy substances, to the extent that it compels you to wonder what the advice you receive is worth. It seems to be of little value, insofar as dealing with natural health is the issue, and also has not equipped people to avoid health problems, that are often created by themselves.

As opposed to building up their own natural defenses, many people have come to turn to professional assistance when they feel under the weather. They appear to be unaware that prolonged abuse, or lack of exercise, or eating the wrong foods has added to their present incapacity. Let us reiterate that people commonly don't allocate enough time to caring for their most precious asset, in other words the human body. If you deny yourself the basic necessities it will not be long, before it begins to tell. Then people may turn to traditional medicine for an over the counter or prescription drug, not appreciating that even if it does work, it will not be for long, if they don't change and look after their natural health.

Peculiarly, some people look upon complementary medicine as worthless, or at least not established as being of any value. Eastern forms of medicine have created Yoga, Acupuncture, Transcendental Meditation, and other practices that are generally considered useful in Western countries. Did you know that there are some insurers, in North America, who reduce life insurance for those individuals who have learned the TM technique? It is generally accepted that acupuncture eases pain, and it has become evident that some Western doctors, offer a form of Eastern medicine in their facilities.

You may have heard it said that you are what you eat, but no one would like to wake up resembling a grease laden fry up! It's a fair evaluation because naturally grown fruit and vegetables are substantially better if you want to be naturally healthy. Recall the aroma of fresh fruit, such as a sliced banana, or fresh bowl of pineapple chunks. Look at the inherent beauty of this sort of food, and contrast it with the smell of burning oil. Follow the advice to consume about 5 - 9 fruits and vegetables per day, and try to err towards the upper end.

Whatever we do requires a certain amount of energy, and in this respect food is our fuel. Since we wouldn't fill our cars with corrosive water, we shouldn't fill our intestines with grease and fat. Similarly, its no use having a tank full of the right fuel if you don't have a regular service, which is where exercise is necessary, to protect our natural health and well-being. So many ways are available to expend energy usefully, and enjoyably; playing squash, badminton or working out in the gym, amongst many others. Obviously a number of calories are used up at work, but for the sake of your natural health opt for something of positive benefit when you have time on your hands.
