News Flash – Our health is ultimately our own individual responsibility!

For at least the last few decades, we have known that in order to maintain wellness we need a healthy mind, body and spirit. The state of our health directly impacts our body’s innate (natural) immunity against disease, illness and injury.

Eat quality food, be active, avoid stress, sleep soundly, drink alcohol responsibility, don’t smoke, maintain positive relationships, enjoy life – these are known and science-proven components to maintain wellness. Why did these concepts lose popularity and credibility?

For whatever reasons, our society for the last year and half, has pretty much disconnected the key components of health, fitness and wellness from personal responsibility. We have grown accustomed to blaming somebody, anybody, and everybody for our health issues, when we ultimately make the decisions of what we put into our bodies and the lifestyle we live.

Obviously not everyone’s socioeconomic situation allows for the Utopia of the perfect society many seek. But overall, our US citizens possess the freedom and ability to change the exact things that make us sick and dis-“ease”d.

“Normal” in the US:

– 12.2% of adults meet the daily fruit intake recommendation (CDC 2018)

– 9.3% of adults meet the daily vegetable intake recommendation (CDC 2018)

– 23% Exercise regularly (CDC 2018)

– 42% vitamin D deficiency (CDC 2018)

– 73% overweight (CDC 2018)

– 42% obese (CDC 2018)

– 18% obesity age 2-18 (CDC 2018)

– 70% on prescriptions (CDC 2019)

– 60% have chronic issues (CDC 2019)

– 40% have more than one chronic issues (comorbidities) (CDC 2019)

– 14% Smoke (CDC 2019)

These are the reasons why the US spends the most $$$ of all nations on healthcare but does not even rank in the top 30 nations for quality of life.

I am adamantly pursuing opportunities to share and teach methods of mind, body and self-awareness to open and willing health-conscious individuals. I teach and encourage people how to live a healthy lifestyle. Learn how this works and relates to your health and well being.
