Healthy Eating, Healthy Lifestyle, Prevention

“75% of all chronic disease is PREVENTABLE.” Bill Sears, M.D.

Did you know that with some changes in what you eat and creating a healthy lifestyle that you can prevent or reverse most food related symptoms and diseases?  These include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, acid reflex, stroke, chronic pain, sleep apnea and some cancers.

The goal is to not be on a “diet,” but rather to create a way of eating that becomes your lifestyle of eating.  A gradual shift towards a lifestyle of healthy eating will give you lasting changes.

The field of Positive Psychology, otherwise known as the study of happiness, is relatively new compared to the study of depression and anxiety.  Studies show that we can change our thinking and the way our brain processes information.  It all starts with developing an awareness of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and a desire to become happier. Some of the benefits of choosing thoughts and behaviors that support a healthy mind are: clearer thinking, better decision making, being more focused, sleeping better, feeling calmer, being able to learn better, having the ability to handle the challenges of life easier and of course feeling happier.

How are you?  How’s your health? Do you know what’s going on inside of you?  How long has it been since you have had a physical and blood test to see how you are doing on the inside? It’s a good idea to get a baseline of how your body is functioning.  A blood test along with checking your blood pressure will give you an idea of your risk factors for chronic diseases that may be preventable or reversible.   If you have chronic stress or chronic pain, are needing to lose some weight, have high cholesterol and high triglycerides or have high blood pressure, you most likely will be able to improve your health by making some lifestyle changes. 

Once you get your baseline information, start from where you are and be realistic about making changes.  Remember, you didn’t become unhealthy overnight.  Be kind to yourself as you decide to make some shifts in your lifestyle.  These changes may be in the areas of eating healthier, adding regular physical movement or finding ways to relax.  These topics will be covered in detail in the coming weeks.  If there is a topic you would like me to cover sooner than later, send me a comment.  This blog is for you and I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
