Pro-Health Approach

‘The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease’   [Thomas Edison]   

The human body is like a finely tuned, high-performance, top-of-the range car. It is an amazing system capable of much given the right and appropriate fuels, maintenance and attention. 

Unfortunately the motor vehicle receives more attention than the human body.   Most people treat their cars with love, affection, regular care and maintenance and are ultra careful about ensuring that only the manufacturer’s recommended gas, oil and lubrication is used to run and maintain their vehicle. 

The human body on the other hand is taken for granted.   Good health is taken for granted   and attention and care only applied in the absence of good health.   Your body is the one and only body you will have in this lifetime.   It is your high performance vehicle, which if treated right, will ensure that your life’s journey is healthful, zestful, trouble free and worry free.   With a little bit of thoughtful and regular attention you can ensure that your body supports you fully in your life’s journey, so that you are at your optimum health at all times and can deliver peak performance in any situation. 

What kind of attention and maintenance does your body require?    All bodies are unique and each body will have its individual needs and requirements.   In order to assess what YOUR body requires you need to be empowered to make informed decisions and choices about it. 

The baseline or guiding principle should be a prohealth approach to your body.   You do not have to wait for it to break down before you give it some attention.   After all you don’t usually wait for your car to break down do you?   If you have a high performance car you will ensure that you have regular checks and that you give it the right fuels for optimum performance. 

It’s the same with the human body.   YOUR body.   It is your most valuable asset and should be safeguarded and protected as such. What’s the best way to look after your body?   What’s the most important aspect that you should prioritise?   How do you know what is good for your body or what your body needs?   How do you choose?   Log in for my next post when I begin to take you through the 7 most important elements that should form the foundation of your plan to maximise the performance of the highly tuned marvel that is your body.
