The Truth: Why Do People Get Sick?
Wow...
there have been so many people around us getting sick lately that I have to wonder what the hell is going on?!?!?
Let's talk about why people get sick.
Okay, pretty basic knowledge here. We all understand that for you to get sick there has to some sort of transfer of a virus or other micro-organism from someone or something to you. Right?
Most articles on how to avoid getting sick give you "brilliant" advice like 'wash your hands frequently' and 'avoid being around sick people' (yea right.... parents avoiding children who are sick... let me know how that works out for you!).
There seems to be something really fundamental missing from this advice. You see, your body has to actually invite the sickness-causing micro-organism in and act as a host.
You can either invite it in as a gracious host or you can slam the door in its face and say 'get the heck out of here"!
When your immune system is weak you are more susceptible to being a host site. When it is strong you are not.
It is just that SIMPLE!
Amazing how many people live high-stress lives, eat junk food, rarely get enough sleep and refuse to take high-quality supplements THEN complain when they get sick because they took precautions!
Beth and I don't get sick.
We lead pretty stressful lives (3 households, 2 businesses, seriously disruptive teenager, in contact with sick people often and rarely get more than 5-6 hours of sleep) yet we don't get sick.
Why not?
I believe it is because we take the right precautions and power up our immune systems. And one of the most important things we do is take care of our micro-nutritional needs with a daily dose of a high-powered whole foods supplement.
Not only do we not get sick but we also feel pretty dang good most of the time.
People say you don't realize the value of your health until you get sick. We'll do our best to pass on that lesson and just appreciate our good health.
By the way, we do wash our hands frequently too. Beth works out 6 days each week and me 3-4. But the power comes from a healthy immune system. Beth eats clean... me well I try!
Remember, sickness vs health is a DAILY decision.
Choose and prepare for health.
