How Do You Define Health?


You know, this is a topic open for much discussion. So many people think that good health means feeling well. Often times this sentiment takes priority at directing a person's health choices. What I mean is, if we only wait until we have symptoms, we are missing the boat entirely. Symptoms are warning signs, but we shouldn't wait for them before we act.

You see, health is not just the absence of pain. Health is optimal function! It is how well the body deals and copes with structural, emotional, and nutritional stresses. The better suited one is to successfully compete with these stresses, the more healthy this person will be.

There are really 2 ways people choose to look at health:
1. Health is about preventing disease
2. Health is about treating an illness

I can assure you, the more focused you are at preventing disease, the healthier and happier you'll be!

I often tell my patients that you wouldn't brush your teeth only when they hurt, or eat salads only when you're in a good mood. Health is a choice. Every day you have the opportunity to improve your health. What choice will you make today?
