The Five Factors Of Health And America’s Health Crisis

Today The united states is in a Health Crisis. Three out four Americans will die from heart disease according to the Journal of the American Medical Association July 26, 2000; 284(4): 483-485. Sixty four percent of the U.S. population is fat according to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1999-2002, CDC and nine percent of the U.S. population is clinically diagnosed with depression according to the National Institute of Mental Health, 2003. The united states is the most technological and wealthiest country in the world but yet they are one of the sickest countries. So what do they do? In lieu of fighting illness you build your health.

There’s three major factors of health. The first one is nutrition. They must eat more natural foods and stay away from manmade foods. Foods that are natural have all the vitamins and minerals needed for us to maintain life.

Second is exercise. They need some type of movement both aerobic and anaerobic. The benefits are improving heart function reduces body fat and raises energy levels. Movement is life.

The third factor of health is sleep. Roughly you need four to four hours of sleep. Some people need more or less but you need a nice adequate amount of sleep. When they sleep and rest this is the time they most are repairing and healing.

The fourth factor is having a positive state of mind. Our body responds to what they think about. They are a product of our thought. In case you put yourself in a negative state of mind the outcomes are always negative. By putting yourself in a positive state of mind you will have positive outcomes.

The fifth major health factor and the most important are having a healthy nervous process. The nervous process controls all process within the body. The brain is the master control middle, the spinal cord organizes information between the brain and the body, and the nerves relate directly to organs, tissues, and cells. Any interference to the nervous process due to a spinal bone will cause distortion to the body. A nice chiropractor will unlock the spinal bone and restore proper brain to body communication.
