“Prevention is the highest form of healing and surgery should always be considered the last resort.”
That’s on the back cover of a comprehensive book about eye care called The Eye Care Sourcebook by Jay B. Lavine, M.D.
And it’s true!
What does prevention mean? It means taking care of yourself. It means getting rid of “junk foods” in your house and body. (There is a reason they are called junk food, right?)
Prevention means getting fresh air, using your lungs to their fullest capacity, using ALL of the muscles in your body instead of just a few.
To heal yourself by preventing illness and dysfunction means paying attention to your body. It requires educating yourself and using your good sense to determine what is true and best for you.
So what is good for you?
Let’s play a game. Imagine you were living on a farm 100 years ago.
How would you spend your day?
- What would you eat?
- Would you be indoors sitting at a desk all day?
- Would your food come from a vending machine?
- How much sleep would you get?
- What would your bathroom habits be? How are they now?
I’m trying to give you clues here. 🙂
No one cares as much about your body as you must.
- Educate yourself.
- Change your habits.
- Do the right things.
Your body will love you for it. And you will love your body. I have faith in you. You CAN feel better!
Remember: Most illness is avoidable and is caused by lifestyle.
Might as well live until you die instead of slowly dying while you’re still alive.
