Health is one of the most important aspects of life, right up there with efficient time use. If health starts to fail, our life is less enjoyable and less productive. So where does good health start? With some basic understandings:
1. Man was made to enjoy good health. Believing God is the creator gives us a mindset that says "'man started off perfect by design". Evolution teaches the opposite, that man today is the end result of millions of years of improvement. There was no design, no purpose. That is all a lie. Man started perfect, our bodies designed to life forever. But due to sin, forever became a thousand years, the due to more sin, about a hundred years. But the design never changed.
2. Modern medicine is designed to hide symptoms, not cure root problems. Therefore modern medicine does not heal, but mask problems. If root issues heal, it is in spit of medical treatment, not because of it.
3. Prevention is always easier than cure.
4. Modern science know little to nothing about prevention. Becasue of #2, modern science has shifted focus and even the understanding of disease is superficial or even wrong.
5. Good Health is measured by the absence of need for medical attention. The more frequent and/or severe medical need is, including consuming medicine, the lower health is. In America we have a healthcare crisis only because of a health crisis. America is dying, we spend more on healthcare than any other nation, we suffer from more lifestyle based disease, and require more medical assistance than any.
6. How you approach healthcare determines how healthy you will be. Trusting in "the system", "the training", "the common knowledge" leaves one dependent on those things. Each intervention insures further intervention. It is a vicious cycle, spiraling into a dependent life of suffering. For example, each medicine causes side effects requiring more medicine.
7. Because of #1, traditional age old wisdom brings best health. Modern man has no monopoly on wisdom. For thousands of years man has existed and prospered. Only in the last hundred years or so has health deteriorated so badly. Look to the past to understand what we have lost.
8. Health starts with nutrition, and environment. The good things we consume as food nourish all the system, s God put in place to keep us healthy. Toxins in our environment do the opposite, they weaken those same systems and tax them health is a balancing act between consumer, ING what we need and avoiding what will harm us.
9. Genetically are at the heart of every disease and no disease. Our level of health, susceptibility to all diseases, is determined by our genetics. But very few diseases if any are genetics alone. Genes are affected by nutrition and toxins, they switch on and off throughout life. They set a starting point, not an end point.
10. Health is a gift from God. He designed it, and he can change it. B7t he works normally within the rules he laid out. If you eat potato chips every day, you will have health issues. Praying to God for healing while planning on continuing to consume potato chips every day is a slap in his face. It is a repeat of original sin. I5 is saying "I want to choose, you need to change the creation to accommodate my personal desires". He rarely does that. First do all that we can to return to his design, then pray for his help to overcome the rest of the problem. He might, or might not. We will all die some day of something. But never ask for health while doing what causes the problem to begin with. That is disrespectful to God himself.
11. Children suffer from the actions of parents. This is God's design. We leave to our children a better or worse world, directly affecting them. It is our right to harm or help them. Many health problems today are occurring at younger and younger ages. Things that used to be only old people diseases are already down to prevent teen children commonly. It is sad, but within your ability to change for your offspring. Start today, clean up your life, and your children will benefit. Ignore this, and you will see them suffer.
This list sets a mindset, a way of thinking. More details on specifics in coming posts.
