Are We Just Punks When It Comes To Our Health?

On my last post I ended with this question: Why do we take for granted this wonderful gift of good health that most are born with? Why do we act as if good health will last forever without any care or attention. Like good personal relationships, our health must be nurtured and tended too. For me, it is a process of cultivation much like that of a good garden. But so many seem to be oblivious of that process. And far too many abuse their health through poor lifestyle choices until they no longer have it; and then expect the so-called health care system to restore them to wholeness. The reality is that good health and life just doesn't work out like that.

I am reminded of a quote from a Clint Eastwood Movie. He says: " I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well to tell the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful hand gun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question -- Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk!" from Dirty Harry

When we abuse or even ignore the process of building good health, aren't we just like that punk Dirty Harry is talking to, and shouldn't we ask ourselves, do I feel lucky? But why would we ever want to entrust our health to luck?

If you're like me, then you want to take responsibility for your own health. You don't necessarily trust the health care system with your health; because, after all, the shocking truth is that Doctors are the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. You want to be in charge of your health; you want to be proactive in building a healthy lifestyle for yourself and family. And it all begins on the foundation of a proper education concerning wellness and health.

I invite you to come along with me on this blogging adventure as I search out and define what I call Intelligent Self-Care. Intelligent Self-care teaches me to build my physical nature with both whole food nutrition and strategic supplementation so as to insure that I am getting all the essential nutrition I need on a daily basis for vibrant health.
