Who Wants To Maintain Their Body (Or Their Car)?

broken_down_car

Think of a person who buys a new car and doesn’t maintain it. Think what happens if the owner:

  • Rarely changes the car’s oil, oil filter or air filter.
  • Never performs tune-ups nor other basic maintenance done, including never rotating the tires.
  • And just drives the car with no concern for the future.

We all know that an UN-maintained car will eventually break down and human nature is such it will always be the car manufacturer’s fault.

And, we also know that are usually warning signs before a break down occurs. For instance, the car’s performance and responsiveness will slowly get worse and gas mileage will go down. In spite of these warnings, many car owners may still refuse to maintain their cars until it actually breaks.

With cars, break down events may be called throwing a rod or a tire blowing-out or an engine seizing up. With un-maintained humans, the attention-getting-event may be named cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, etc.

After such a breakdown event, there may likely be a seeking of a repair person, i.e. a car mechanic, or a hospital and doctor to fix the breakdown... and because of our human nature, the person will probably be shaking his/her head and wondering why has this happened to me?

The Freedom Called Health Isn’t Free

The truth is that freedom, of any sort, isn’t free, and especially, so, the freedom of having a healthy body isn’t free.

If we want the freedom to enjoy our physical health for a lifetime, we have to have the discipline and vigilance of taking care of our body correctly.

That is the plain truth. It cannot be changed by legislation or good intentions. Failure to take care of one’s body will inevitably result in the future loss of freedom to enjoy life, and the bondage called poor health. And as anyone experiencing poor health knows - the loss of one’s freedom to fully participate in life and to fully enjoy the precious relationships that make life sweet, degrades the quality of life substantially.

Therefore, we must constantly:

  1. Consider the state of our health and the state of our understanding and discipline to do those things that will preserve and enhance our health.
  2. Remember that the most powerful word in the English language is HABIT. Habits bind us or they enable and free us.
  3. Believe that healthy habits are the eternal vigilance that gives us freedom from poor health. We teach five important habits for health.

Before discussing healthy habits, we wish to alert you to their oppose. Do not let them be part of your operational mode:

Four Extremely Bad Health Habits

  1. Not thinking about your health — and not believing that a person you seen in a coffin, hospital bed or wheelchair may in the future very likely be you unless you act wiser than they did.
  2. Trusting others too muchespecially those who gain from your poor health and your early death, i.e. big business, big pharma and big government. You need to gain your own understanding of the truths regarding health and be in charge of your own health.
  3. Not understanding what are one’s particular health risks and not strategizing so as to minimize those risks.
  4. Failing to plan your daily routines so as to establish the Five Habits of Health. The old saying is true: If one fails to plan, the result becomes the same as if one had planned to fail.
