GET YOUR HEART RIGHT WITH YOUR HEALTH
How many things have you slated to change or improve going into the 2017 season? January is a time to resolve what you lifted your glass for on New Year’s but today is the day to actually walk it out. And it can hap- pen! Get your Heart right with your Health and you will be on the right track for the years to come.
Mastering or optimizing your health/life balance is a task but not one that will exhaust your entire being. See, if you look at the health status of our community and beyond, it comes down to a common thread; people are not concerned about their health until they no longer have it. Heart disease
is affecting 1 out of 2 people; cancer
1 out of 3; Alzheimer’s is on track to affect 1 out of 2. Diabetes is running rampant, which is not really just one disease. It is a compilation of dysfunc- tions that degenerate your system, which put into simple terms means it shortens your life.
To remedy these horrific diseases, we must begin by taking an inventory of how healthy you actually are. This is attained by questions that involve transparency and honesty so you can truly take your health to the next level. If you are not truthful, it is only hurt- ing yourself. And, trust me when I
say this, I use to be one that would look side-to-side comparing myself to others when it came to how healthy I was and you cannot do that because nobody has your life, your circum- stances, or your story.
Questions you should consider include knowing what you do with your time:
• Do you exercise? If so, how much and what kind?
• Do you eat meals at home? If so, how much?
• What types of food do you eat and at what times?
• How are your relationships? With your spouse? Kids? Boss?
• What are some things that make you stressed out? And what things de-stress you?
These are just a few questions to take a personal inventory for you to take action steps for you to go to the next level.
There are no right or wrong answers to these questions because they are truths that only pertain to you. Most times when I have patients fill out food logs and lifestyle assessment questionnaires, they become guilty and don’t want to turn them into me for review. And that’s not why I have you do it. I do it for you to have your blind spots exposed so improvements can be made. We don’t improve if we don’t know what to improve. And I’m com- mitted to making sure that you don’t take anymore of the same trips around the same mountain again and again and again... that is the true definition of insanity.
So, in a nutshell, this is the nug- get to take away from this article.
The only one in charge of your diet, lifestyle, and relationships is you and the only one that can improve them is you. Being transparent with yourself and with those that love you is the priceless gift you can allow yourself. And to help you begin this process, we have an incredible custom well- ness and weight loss program powered by Nutrimost. We also have the latest in cutting edge healthcare. Radiant Healthcare takes a conservative inte- grated approach to meet the needs of the community. Whether you have back pain, knee pain, carpal tunnel,
or any other structural conditions, we have ways to address and restore you back to health. To take action, call for an appointment at (269) 964-3300.
