Have you ever known someone who felt great one day and then was diagnosed with a serious illness the next? Maybe you know someone close to you who never has been sick a day in their life and then were told they had diabetes, or worse, suffered from a heart attack and died?The question that comes to mind the most is “how did this happen?” How do people live years with no signs of disease and then find out their body is riddled with cancer and they have only months to live?The reason this happens so often and the number one reason why people are not healthy, is because they honestly believe that they are.They are convinced that as long as they have no diagnosed condition, they are “healthy”. The general rule that people live by is that as long as they are not dying (that they know of), they assume themselves to be fine. The results of this attitude continue to plague our healthcare system to the tune of billions of dollars and immeasurable amounts in quality and quantity of life lost.The solution lies in a more appropriate definition of health.
Health – The natural, normal state of the body when it gets everything it needs to thrive, a body functioning properly
Imagine if this was how people thought about health?If people viewed health as a proactive process that was part of their daily lives?If they saw their problems like disease, illness and dysfunction not as the primary issue but instead signals alerting them to the improper choices they had been making for far too long?The new normal would be families eating real food, moving daily, focusing their mental state on what’s right, not on what’s wrong and making sure a Life By Design Chiropractor is checking their spine and nervous system for interference was a part of their regular routine.Too much time and energy goes into addressing what is “wrong” with us, when the biggest and most significant impact comes from maximizing what is right within us.Life By Design is your lifestyle for a lifetime, your blueprint for an extraordinary life.
