The Gift of
Good Health
WHY DO PEOPLE GET SICK?
Good question. People
do get sick. Oftentimes we normally recover from it
but sometimes it could be fatal that even doctors and
hospitals can not do much for us anymore.
Though there maybe many reasons why we get sick,
common sense can easily point out four major reasons
why we do.
- Environmental
pollution
- Poor diet
- Stress
- Hereditary causes
ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
Surely you've heard so much about this already. You
know how dirty our environment is. The air we breath,
the water we drink, the food we eat, all the garbage
we see all around, the mere sight of which makes us
sick already! We all know this is bad and it's only
getting worse.
Probably the good thing about it is that people are
starting to be aware that we are burdening our
environment too much and that there are actual
initiatives being undertaken by many individuals,
groups and institutions to alleviate the situation. Let's
do our share.
POOR DIET
Another cause of disease you have surely heard about
is our poor dietary habits. We don't eat as much
nutritious food as our forefathers did. Fast food,
processed food and all those artificial food
additives have seriously affected our body functions
and operations.
Unlike environmental pollution where more and more
people are starting to realize and help remedy, poor
diet is not exactly on top of most people's agenda.
We should prioritize this too if we wish to make a
serious effort of having good health.
STRESS
Modern living: the culprit of so much
stress. Sometimes we get to think that modern living
is actually Jurassic living when it comes to
producing so much stress in our lives!
There are movements though that do address this
phenomena, thank God! Books and other resources on
relaxation and stress reduction are widely available.
We highly recommend you take a look into these
materials, they help. It's healthy to be
stress-free.
HEREDITARY
CAUSES
Probably something we can't do much about. Some of us
do get sick because of some out of order genetic code
we have inherited from our parents. Bad luck? Well,
don't fret too much. Sometimes a little faith and a
dash of prayer is all that is needed to reverse the
effects of this cause of disease. There are stories
of people who actually fought back and won against
it. Smile!
Now you're aware of the major causes of our diseases,
it's time for you to know how to achieve
optimum health.
