An In-Depth Discussion On Health, Being Healthy And People’s Mindsets

Point no. 10 — the irony of premium engine oil

Building on the car analogy I had used earlier, would you use substandard engine oil on your car, if you knew that this oil would worsen its performance, make it breakdown more often, and shorten its lifespan, just because this oil is cheaper and perhaps smells better than premium engine oil?

Doesn’t your body deserve its premium engine oil, in the form of top quality foods and good living habits? You can always buy a new car, but you CAN’T buy a new body.

This is yet another irony I find of people today — we would take good care of our houses, cars, electronics, and spend tons of money on these contraptions, but when it comes to our precious and irreplaceable bodies, we treat them like dirt, and give them substandard and cheap foods and living habits.

We destroy our health in the search for money, and then we desperately spend our money in a bid to regain our health. It is so ironic and laughable, yet often also very sad.

Point no. 11 — our bodies are wise AND powerful

Honestly, looking at the toxic state of our world and lives today, and the way we ill-treat our bodies, it’s NOT a wonder to me that we get struck with killer diseases; conversely, it’s actually a wonder to me that our bodies manage to hold out for so many years, so many decades, before FINALLY crumbling!

Many people are depressed due to the high disease and death rates today. They live in fear, or in pain, or both. These people also believe that there is absolutely nothing they can do to prevent or battle serious diseases. This is another HUGE myth.

Don’t underestimate your body, your immune system. For example, a person exposed to toxic radiation from a nuclear plant or leak takes years, even decades, to develop cancer or to have deformed children. Can you imagine how powerful our immune systems are, and how much they can adapt to changing conditions?

Also don’t underestimate your body’s wisdom. Every single day, every minute, every second, your body is doing a million things to keep you alive, to keep you functioning, and to keep you as healthy as possible. But it needs help, because it can only work with the tools and fuel that it is given.

Know that you have the power to make simple changes to improve your health greatly. Our bodies have the blueprint for perfect health, and all we have to do is to provide the correct conditions for it to exercise that blueprint, that intelligence.
