Health Choices

The choices, which people make about their life and habits are by far the largest factor in determining their state of wellness.

The most obvious choices people make each day are what they consume both physically and mentally.

The cells in one's body are constantly being replaced; new cells are built from what is available. Harmful substances or lack of needed building blocks in the body can result in imperfect cells, unable to do what is required to keep that person healthy. Similarly, on the non-physical level, a person's mental attitudes are put together from what they see and hear.

The majority of illnesses and premature deaths can be traced back to lifestyle choices.

There are the well known dangers connected with drugs, alcohol, nicotine, artificial food stuff, and unprotected sexual activity.

Less recognized is the impact of excesses in things like sugar caffeine, and negative attitudes. Combined with deficiencies in exercise, nutritious foods, and self-esteem, these gradually accumulate harmful effects. With time they diminish the quality of the natural environment within that being, and can set the stage for illness to take hold.
