Health-A multi faceted approach

  First of all I hope we realize that our , physical constitution, strengths and weaknesses are affected by the very health of our parents at our conception.
  That being said, I also believe that with 4 key" ingredients ", we can improve even those things.
  The 4 key ingredients to good health, in my opinion are thus;
Healthy Living, Proper Nutrition, High Quality Supplements and Natural Healing/ Medicine.
  Lets discuss number one. Healthy Living.
 What do I mean when I say Healthy Living? Taking into consideration, that will mean something different to everyone, I can only share what it means to us.
1. Proper amount of sleep
2. Not over or under, exercising. Get off the couch yet don't kill you're self with Insanity exercise videos. I realize both extremes are popular but both are potentially unhealthy. They have discovered that most over exercisers are very unhealthy because they fail to replenish their bodies with lost nutrients. Nor do they support their amount of exercise with proper nutrition. As for the couch potatoes , Drs say that a person should move their body every hour except while sleeping.
3. Moderation in all things! Eating, drinking, working, stressing. Stress is a part of life but too much must actively be avoided.
4. The Bible says that man cannot live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Perhaps this should've been #1. This verse tells me that as a believer, I need the Word as much as food. Think about the implications of that. Real life is not possible outside of Christ- not real life, in the form that the Lord desires for us to have it.
Next, Proper Nutrition.
  First of all, we all must be grateful for what we have. Secondly , we are only expected to do the best we can with what the Lord gives us. That being said; there is such a thing as proper nutrition.
 1. Non GMO foods are imperative if you would have a healthy body
  2. Organic is the safest food to eat. What I mean by organic is , no chemicals and grown by a local farmer. If you don't have one, then organic from a store is the next best choice. If organic is honestly not possible, then it is better to eat healthy whole foods rather than junk food. Remember we do the best we can. Keep in mind though that it is a fallacy that eating, natural and organic is more expensive. On FB recently someone posted that a kit kat bar costs $9.54 a pound! At most an organic veggie would be $4 a pound!! As well beans and brown rice are excellent 'cheap foods'.
3. Then how do we consume our non GMO, organic food? Raw, lightly steamed...or just eat them at all! We fry some veggies at a moderate temp in coconut oil.
4.Consume 12 cups of liquid a day. Sorry this does not include, coffee soda or alcohol. As well at least half of this should be water. As a side note, an occasional bit of lemon in water is very healthy and helps to balance your body's ph. Acid body bad, Alkaline body good:)
5. Moderation in eating meals. Not too much and not too little or skipping meals. (unless deliberately fasting) Dr. Lindsey Duncan says that in his 40,000 clinical hours and 29 years of natural medicine that there was one thing which every pancreatic and colon cancer patient had in common; eating past 9pm...Is 9 a magic  number? No. It is the idea of eating late in the evening or right before slumber.
High Quality Supplements.
  I cannot stress this one enough.
1. As of a govt doc (which if you need the number let me know and Ill look it up again) 1936, the Feds declared that our soil in the US was far too depleted to grow food that contained all of the proper nutrition to grow healthy plants...what does that mean? Well think about it...poor soil, grows a weak plant. Weak plants lead to diseased adults. Not to mention, the poor nutrition contained in the plants is then doused with poisons before it reaches our kitchen and then we cook the life out of it before consuming it.
2. Supplements are necessary in this day and age in order for our bodies to have all the minerals , vitamins and nutrients it needs to heal our bodies and keep them healthy. So what kind of quality supplements am I talking about? Non gmo, organic, wildcrafted , without unpronounceable ingredients and in a liquid form. If you take a liquid supplement it takes only 9 minutes for it to reach the cellular level. If you're taking a hard vitamin....you essentially get nothing out of it. Google how many times persons taking hard vitamins end up having an xray for something and several undigested hard vitamins are found throughout their intestinal tract.
3. The supplements, assuming they are non gmo and organic must be harvested, shipped and produced in a proper manner in order for you to get the most benefit. All of that considered, we will only use Genesis Pure products in our family.
4. Supplements should never take the place of good nutrition, but they are necessary in maintaining it
Natural Healing and Natural Medicine.
  Let me begin by saying that I am forever grateful for Western medicine. There are many a soul, friend, family member and acquaintance that would not be here were it not for modern medicine and science. It is imperative to have access to modern medicine in the case of trauma. In the case of emergency, in the case of necessary surgery,  restorative disfigurement,in some cases sustaining life period!..but not in the case of every day sickness and not in the case of most diseases/disorders. What do I mean?
  We do not have heartburn because of our lack of antacid. We do not have diabetes because of our lack of insulin. Most heart disease is brought on by lack of nutrition and proper living, not because of a lack of stints in our arteries.
  So whereas Western Medicine has a role, it is far over used. There is a natural protocol for nearly every ailment. First of all, eat well and take an awesome supplement and multivitamin so your body has what it needs.
 SUPPLEMENTS AND VITAMINS DO NOT HEAL US. GOD DESIGNED OUR BODIES TO HEAL THEMSELVES. SUPPLEMENTS, NUTRITION AND VITAMINS GIVE OUR BODIES THE TOOLS AND BUILDING BLOCKS IT NEEDS TO DO THE JOB OF HEALING ITSELF.
 1. Use herbs for illness
 2. Utilize the use of Essential Oils for healing
3.Take the extra effort and time to do 'things' to help situations. For example, got a fever? Cool down with herbs and a luke warm bath before reaching for that fever reducer.
  The list of things you can do to help yourself instead of running to the Dr, or reaching for that 'drug' are endless. A little research will go a long way.
  Again I can give you some of my experiences. We have 11 children, and  only one has been taken  to the Dr for an earache in all of these years. Why? Garlic oil! Cant afford it? Make it!
  Pre diabetes in our family was treated with cinnamon bark oil.
  Insomnia is helped with lavender oil.
  Hives can be treated with it as well.
  Chamomile tea insures an early bedtime.....on and on and on. Think of the creative things you can do to save your liver and your body from the damage that results from use and over use of chemical medications. Remember; MEDICINE DOESN'T HEAL YOU.  GOD DESIGNED OUR BODIES TO HEAL THEMSELVES. SUPPLEMENTS, NUTRITION AND VITAMINS GIVE OUR BODIES THE TOOLS AND BUILDING BLOCKS IT NEEDS TO DO THE JOB OF HEALING ITSELF.
   So I encourage you to take on the challenge of using these 4 ingredients to add to the health and wellness of yourself and your family.
  What a blessing to be Fearfully and Wonderfully Made!
