Go jump on a trampoline and Wake Up Your System
MODERN men/women have to cope with lifestyle diseases like cancer, hypertension, diabetes, heart conditions. These illnesses are caused by a way of life that has a low regard for health due to ignorance, lack of information/education, apathy and negligence.Research has proven that the human body's cells have intelligence and are constantly linked to thoughts. Dr. Deepak Chopra describes it as "eavesdropping on thoughts and being changed by them."It is common knowledge that depression can compromise the immune system while being in a state of love can restore it. Despair and sadness can cause heart attacks, even cancer, thus shortening one's life, but joy and a sense of fulfillment can add years.Stress as destroyerA single remembered thought about a stressful situation in our life can trigger a flood of stress hormones in the body.
It causes as much damage as the original situation.So does it make any sense to resurrect painful episodes from the past, knowing you are causing more damage to yourself? Geneticists believe that a person's life span is determined by his/her genes or DNA. Not much importance is given to a person's strong will to live or a lifestyle that is simple and healthy.Outside the laboratory, it is widely believed that DNA is definitely influenced by all your thoughts, feelings and actions.
Is DNA then your destiny, your death sentence?In his book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind," Chopra says: "the stress hormones that play such a critical part in aging are regulated by RNA, which is a copy of DNA. When you make a lifestyle change that reduces stress, the RNA in your cells responds by churning out fewer stress hormones."Health tips from a friendOver a vegetarian lunch at Satya's (tel. 9203487 in Loyola Heights), Omar Arabia, holistic healer, explains the importance of the following:Balance. Life and work should be balanced. More work and no play can cause an overload on one's stress endurance. Pay attention to "not only what's eating you, but also to what you are eating."Diet. In the end, nothing replaces a good eating habit, one filled with as many greens, fruits and clean water.
Excesses in sugar, alcohol, salt and fat should be a thing of the past.Detoxification. The elimination system should be a major health concern. Any sluggishness in bowel movements should act like an early warning. The elimination system includes the liver, colon, lymphatics, kidneys, lungs and arteries.
Depending on the health problem, treatments given to patients include organic coffee enemas, kidney cleanings (using local herbal teas, cogon roots, lemon grass, cornsilk, etc.), skin brushing to stimulate the lymph. (Consider having C-lium Fiber in your juice daily, available at Mercury Drugstore.)Great juices that nourish and detoxify the body are fresh buko (coconut without meat), carrot, apple, leaf lettuce and red apple, singkamas (jicama).Exercise. Movement is good for the body, it can never be bad.
Brisk walking daily is good enough. The best way though to wake up your entire system is to, believe it or not, use the trampoline. Jumping on a trampoline for just 10 minutes is enough to perk up your lymph. (Consider Play Underground, Power Plant Mall Rockwell Center.)Prayer and meditation.
Inner peace is conducive to healing. Being in the right frame of mind and in a loving, calm state contributes to the prevention of illness. Practice regular meditation and have an active, prayerful life.Support group. Whatever support you might get -- emotional, artistic, spiritual, intellectual. It is vital that you belong to a group of like-minded people dedicated to helping one another achieve greater fulfillment in life.Preventive medicine.
To prolong the life and quality of life of a patient, the best wellness medicine is preventive intervention through a comprehensive approach that includes nutritional modification, systemic detoxification and the right perspective and frame of mind.Beauty tips to maintain one's youthful looks: adopt the right attitude in life, one that is loving and positive; try to have a nonviolent attitude toward yourself and others, be at peace, have a healthy diet, detoxify, exercise.
From cocoon to butterflyLifestyle change is impossible without a transformation in your deepest levels of consciousness. If you intend to make that giant leap, step into your cocoon. Imagine yourself enveloped in darkness. Embraced by your frustrations and weaknesses, invoke your inner strength and courage -- affirm: "I will emerge a butterfly, transformed and complete."Love and light!
