The Eight Natural Doctors to Keep You
Healthy
Everyday living in today's society can be very taxing on
our bodies. With hectic work schedules and quick or skipped
meals, we are damaging and destroying our bodies a little
bit more every day.
A very sure solution would be to employ eight natural doctors
to aid in your healing process. Don't worry, they will not
charge you any money, in fact, these doctors will actually
help you save money.
Once you have followed the advice of these eight natural
doctors, you will experience a new start in life. And 'New
Start' is an easy way to remember these doctors. Let's take
a brief look at them one at a time.
N-E-W S-T-A-R-T
N - Nutrition
It is important to "watch what you eat". Eating
a lot of trans-fatty foods will not only make you overweight,
but will aid in clogging your arteries. Eating plenty of fresh,
green, leafy vegetables is a great way to help your body get
the vitamins and nutrients it needs to function properly.
E - Exercise
The reason exercise is important is because this is how your
heart gets stronger. A stronger heart means better blood flow.
If you spend 30 minutes, three days a week, working out, not
only will you feel better, but your mental abilities will
also improve. For exercise to be effective, it must be progressive,
systematic, and habitual. The more you exercise, the stronger
every part of your body will become.
W - Water
It used to be said that you should drink 8 glasses of water
each day. Today that number is debated as to whether that
specific number applies to everybody or not. The bottom line
is that your body is comprised of mostly water. Your brain
needs plenty of fresh water everyday in order to function
properly. While your body can go three days without water,
your brain will start to experience negative effects within
12 to 14 hours. There is no substitute for water, not even
sports drinks. By drinking plenty of water every day, your
brain, kidneys, and most internal organs will function more
efficiently.
S - Sunshine
Taking a break from your cubicle everyday and getting into
the sunshine will do more for you than you may realize. According
to Dr. Tedd Mitchell, in his article for USA Weekend, recent
studies suggest that the sun's ability to stimulate vitamin
D production in the skin can make it an incredible boon to
the body in fighting certain kinds of cancers, including some
skin cancers. Taking short, regular breaks to allow your body
to be exposed to sunshine is a good way to help you stay healthy.
T - Temperance
Temperance is keeping everything in moderation. We all know
about being temperate in eating; don't overeat or you will
gain weight, etc. But temperance should be used in all areas.
For example, too much sunshine can cause skin cancer, so limit
how much sun you actually expose yourself to. In order to
maintain a healthy life, you must use each of these natural
doctors in moderation. Don't overdo it in any area. Keeping
well-balanced is the key to good health.
A - Air
Getting plenty of fresh air is extremely important; you cannot
live more than a few minutes without it. Make sure that your
homes and offices are properly ventilated. If possible, open
some windows to provide cross-ventilation. Most people leave
their windows shut during the winter months, causing the air
to become stagnant and ill-smelling. If you cannot open the
windows in your office, make sure you take your breaks outside
so you can give your body the necessary oxygen it needs to
keep healthy. When you are able to go outside and take ten
deep breaths, it is like giving yourself an oxygen cocktail.
Your body loves it.
R - Rest
Maybe you have heard that children grow while they sleep.
This is true. During rest, your body is able to grow and to
re-build itself. The brain tissue is being restored and the
nerves are re-charged while you sleep. If you skimp on sleep,
your body does not have adequate time to re-condition itself
and to heal itself. Getting the necessary hours of sleep each
night is important to maintain a healthy body.
T - Trust in God
Trusting in God is the most important of all natural doctors.
If we believe that we were created in His image and that He
sent His Son to redeem us, we should have no problem trusting
Him to take care of us and to keep us healthy. If we do our
part in eating nutritiously, exercising, drinking plenty of
water, getting plenty of sunshine, being temperate in all
areas, getting plenty of fresh air, and getting plenty of
rest, God will do His part in sustaining our life to the fullest
and keeping it healthy. Just trust Him, He knows what He's
doing.
