Preventative Health
I would like to start with a definition of preventative health from Wikipedia.
Preventive healthcare (alternately preventive medicine, preventative healthcare/medicine, or prophylaxis) consists of measures taken for disease prevention, as opposed to disease treatment. Health, disease, and disability are dynamic processes which begin before individuals realize they are affected.
Now we know the definition, why is it so important and what does it really mean?
In laymen’s terms, preventative means to stop something bad from happening. How do you do that when you have had no training?
You can educate yourself. It means you have to become your own health coach. To become any kind of coach you have to study the subject, but where do you start?
Our website and magazines can help you with that. Our experts give you amazing information about living a holistic lifestyle. In our membership area we have hundreds of videos to help you to educate yourself.
To me, education is the first step. The second step is self-love. We have a magazine dedicated to showing you how to start practising self-love. I say this because without self-love we start sabotaging ourselves. If we don’t love and value ourselves enough, we will never allow ourselves to reach our goals. This applies to all aspects of our life, especially health and wellness.
Once you have the information you need and some self-love, you will start making changes in your life so you can start really living your best life.
Let’s look at this analogy…Think about how you will stop something bad from happening to your car. It might be because you love your car, or it might be because you don’t want a big bill when the car breaks down. Whatever motivates you, the carrot or the stick, you will get regular check-ups for the car.
If you don’t check the basics, oil, water and tyres, then the car will not keep running for long. If you take care, give attention and show your car a little love, it will work for longer.
Then there is the service. If you don’t get that done regularly, things start breaking down. Take that a step further and do the non-essentials, cleaning the car both inside and outside, you may do this just because you love your car to look and smell clean but it is non-essential, it’s just maintenance. The car will still keep running without this, but it makes every journey so much better when everything is fresh.
There are many things you can do for your car and many of you reading this article who own a car probably do all of these things mentioned above.
Now if you can do that for your car, what is preventing you from taking some preventative health measures for yourself? You will end up paying for it in the long run if you don’t; medical costs, prescriptions, operations, appointments with specialists are never cheap.
Educate yourself and start putting in strategies to get your health on track and maintain it BEFORE your body starts falling apart.
Don’t wait for diabetes, heart attack, cancer, Autoimmune disease, or some other dis-ease to set in. Start loving yourself NOW!
Maybe this short analogy has helped you see that preventative health will pay you in the long run. If that is the case, read this full magazine. Our experts are here to help you live the healthiest life possible.
