For Health or True Health

It is a general perception that how we do things leads to what we actually get in the end.  It is a “cause and effect” thing.  However, isn’t that even more appropriate to say that what we conceive or perceive in the first place dictates what we get?

When it comes to health, the same is true.  A lot of people relate to health as “not sick”. In other words, if I am not ill, I am healthy.  As I come to know a few years back, this is very much an entry-point definition.

The far end, more appropriately referred to as true health, is more exciting and meaningful.  It implies that our body parts could always perform at the optimum, regardless of our age.  With this definition, you could expect a body physically fit, and full of vitality even if you reach an age of eighty, ninety, or beyond. You can very well imagine yourself playing some sports with your grandchildren or great grandchildren in one time, and be ready to go traveling in the next.  Sickness is out of question.  It is not a part of aging (or growing older) anyway.

Out of curiosity, I have researched the internet to see what is out there regarding true health. Here are some of them to share with you.

“My one sentence definition of “true health” is that it means feeling well, looking well, being of moderate body weight, and being physically able and active, all achieved without dependency on medications.”  — Dr. Jeff Clark of http://www.truehealthmedicine.com

“True health is a natural state of freedom, personal choice, responsibility and balance.” – Dr. Bijana Devo of http://www.truehealthmedicine.com

“Dorland’s Medical Dictionary states that true health is a state of optimal physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.  In other words, health is not limited to how you feel, but rather refers to your level of function and performance as a whole.” – http://www.discoverchiropracticnow.com

With these in mind, would your health regimen be different from now on?
