Adelle Davis, nutritionist and author, and considered by many to be “the Mother of Nutrition”, wrote in 1947, yes, that’s 1947!
As I see it, everyday you do one of two things, build health or produce disease in yourself
Almost 20 years ago, long before Dr. Oz wrote his book You, The Owners Manual (2005), I took a work shop about owning your health and the lessons have stayed with me all these years.
Bottom line: You invest in a 401K or an IRA for your future financial health but what are you doing for your future physical health because what good is your money if you’re sick and miserable and in pain?
Ask yourself this question: What am I doing every day to build/maintain my health or to destroy it?
Think OWNERS
Oxygen (clean air/breathing properly)
Water (quantity/quality)
Nutrition (real food/eating organically, locally, seasonally even supplements)
Energy (exercise/movement/increase your vibration)
Relaxation (meditation/yoga/mind-body practices like Tai Chi)
S (sleep/stillness)
Some friends think I’m crazy for where I spend my time, energy and resources but I think Thomas Jefferson had it right in 1826 when he wrote,
Without health there is no happiness. An attention to health, then should take the place of every other object
