No one wants to be sick. I truly believe that. We were meant to be healthy and to live our lives full of energy and with positive attitudes that lead to enjoyment of each moment. I love what Dr. Ellen Jensen says in her book, "Health is Our Birthright." "The body is a magnificent creation of God. It comes equipped with an innate intelligence and powerful energy to heal itself when given the opportunity." 

 

Take a moment to consider the people that you know. How many do you consider vital and truly healthy? How many do you see as being somewhat unhealthy, suffering from headaches, arthritis, digestive disorders, muscle or joint pains, diabetes, low energy, mental or emotional stress, cardiovascular stress, high cholesterol, or any other illness that is keeping them from enjoying each moment? How many do you know who suffer with cancer? As you ponder these friends and loved ones I think you'll be a bit surprised by the picture you see.

 

Hippocrates once said, "A wise person ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession and learn how to treat his/her illness by his/her own judgment." Perhaps that is why the U.S. Surgeon General said, "You, the individual, can do more for your own health and well-being than any doctor, any hospital, any drug, any exotic medical device." (Healthy People: The Surgeon General's Report on Health Promotion and Disease Promotion, 1979. P.6) Hippocrates and the Surgeon General both realized what modern medicine has not, that each of us possess within ourselves the innate ability to make choices that will help us be well.  This just might be a place where you remember the value of social distance and wear your face mask!

 

There are five foundational cornerstones to having and maintaining good health. Violating any of these has the potential to cause disease. Webster defines a foundation as "the base or basis upon which something stands or is supported. Webster defines a cornerstone as "something of basic importance." Cornerstones also help hold the walls in buildings together. If you want your building to stand for a long time you build it based upon a very solid foundation and with solid cornerstones. 

 

The same is true for health. If you want to have and maintain good health you need to build it on a solid foundation with a focus on the principles of basic importance. It appears that we can't defy these foundational cornerstones any more than we can defy The Law of Gravity. Violating these foundational cornerstones to health brings about the "lack of health " or what we commonly refer to as "dis-ease" in our society. (Disease means the "lack of ease.") 

 

So what are these foundational cornerstones to good health? Adequate hydration, nutrition and a well balanced diet, adequate physical movement, sufficient quantity and quality of sleep and a positive mental attitude. Like the tires on your automobile, if one of these areas goes "flat" it causes the others to be stressed and eventually throws them out of balance too, negatively impacting your overall health.

 

The increased hydration, due to micro-clustering of the molecules and an ionic charge, will work on your blood. This process will rid your body of harmful, health-robbing oxidizers and aid in increasing your health and vitality. Your body will become more resistant to attacks from germs and bacteria, increasing your energy level.
