Health is defined as a state of well being. The medical dictionary (Medilexicon) has three definitions for health. To summarize in few words, health is a state of the body when it functions optimally without evidence of disease. This state is characterized by a dynamic balance between the emotional and physical levels in the body.
Our body has its own automatic self healing mechanism. All we have to do is to keep it going by maintaining the body and spirit balance and preventing the diseases. We are totally in charge with our own health, nobody can create health for us. Therefore, we need to make a lifelong commitment to learning how to achieve balance in our body, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Lots of researches have been conducted to study the origins of diseases. Statistics show that majority of diseases are caused by humans themselves. This shows one more time that diseases should be prevented.
Number one preventive measure is to stop polluting the soil and water. Ocean pollution is a major problem that is affecting not only the ocean, but the rest of the Earth, too. Pollution in the ocean directly affects ocean organisms and indirectly affects human health and resources. Oil spills, toxic wastes, and dumping of other harmful materials are all major sources of pollution in the ocean.
Stress is a major disease factor too. Stress and imbalance create not only a sick body, but also an unhealthy society. The environmental stress is a response to things around us that cause stress, such as noise, crowding, pressure from work or family, etc. We create stress by not getting enough rest, working too hard or too much, not knowing how to manage our time well, or how to take time out for rest or relaxation.
All these being said, we have to stop blaming the health care crisis. It is us to be blamed, as we don't take responsibility for our own bodies. Medical technology save lives, but improving lifestyle habits will even do more. Prevention should our first priority in life.
Conclusion
Start taking responsibility of your life now! Forget the expensive traditional medicine and switch to natural medicine. Healthy diets, use of herbal remedies instead of prescription drugs, walking, running, proper resting, will help you achieve a better overall life.
