Many of us claim to pursue health, but often we're actually seeking an attractive body shape. I wish to discuss what true health entails. It's not about having a six-pack or being thin. Many individuals with such physiques still face numerous health challenges, which are frequently overlooked because of their appealing appearance. While I'm not opposed to achieving the look I desire, I prioritize my long-term health over immediate attractiveness.
This looks like healthy mindset, muscle, good digestion, good sleep, over all happy and able to do what i need day to day without needing constant support of medicine. This means we have to look at true health and what it takes to achieve it. News flash this isn't just about what you eat!!
In modern times, our approach to health often narrows in on a single aspect we aim to improve or a malfunctioning area. We fixate on this specific aspect, tirelessly working towards our goal until it's achieved or abandoned, merely addressing the symptom.
When symptoms arise, it's crucial not to focus solely on individual body parts. Instead, we should acknowledge that the root cause may stem from an unrelated area, such as the limbic system or vagus nerve, of which we might be unaware.
The impact of our environment, toxins, and emotions on our overall health is frequently underestimated. It's common for individuals to suppress an issue in one area, only to have it emerge in another, not realizing the connection between these elements.
Mental, emotional, or gut issues are often neglected or suppressed, potentially leading to chronic diseases later on. For instance, taking antibiotics for an infection without considering the future risk of conditions like MS, Lyme disease, or fibromyalgia. Removing organs without resolving the underlying problem is a common misunderstanding. Many health issues can be traced back to unresolved past illnesses. Unaddressed trauma can also weaken the immune system, disrupt hormones, and impair organ function, yet we often delay action until the situation becomes dire.
All these factors affect our overall health. The priority given to each varies from person to person, but they all warrant attention. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and we should aim to do our best, improving our self-care step by step.
The saying 'Health is easy; disease is hard' reflects the idea that neglecting our bodies will eventually compel us to address their needs. It's encouraging when someone without major illness seeks to optimize their nutritional health and address potential obstacles to their goals. This is part of the process of working through
