To share health you have to be healthy. When you are tired and run down, you cannot possibly share positively with others. I learned this lesson with my personal emotions. I used to feel it was bad to love myself. I felt it was selfish to be happy. Then I realized that if I do not love myself, I cannot whole heartedly love others. If I am not happy, then I cannot coach others through stressful times to find joy and happiness. To understand this more fully, think of giving money instead of giving love or peacefulness. If you ask to borrow $20 from me and I only have $10, how could I ever loan you what you need.
Everyone can improve by being a constant student. You can never know it all or understand it all. Constantly fill your knowledge bank. Regularly read health related books to know your body better and to seek truth. People see and resonate with truth. That is why my mentor, Dr. M. T. Morter always was in search of truth and many were drawn to him. For example, two weeks ago I participated in a health fair. I scanned participants with the CardioWave and told each person what we could do together to improve their current situation. In four short hours, we scanned almost 50 people. Everyone wanted to be scanned, even the other vendors. People called their friends and family to come to the health fair and get scanned. We constantly had a line waiting to be scanned and talk about getting healthier.
I share this story so that you all know how powerful it is to serve from a position of truth and love. We have to make it our personal responsibility to share our truth in every small and big way that is presented to us. Do your BEST and that will always be enough!
6 Essentials to Health
1. Evaluate what you eat.
There are two kinds of foods — acid and alkaline. Your body was designed to function in an alkaline state, which requires alkaline foods — mostly fruits and vegetables. Eating too much of the acid foods makes your body acid, causing acute physical stress.
2. Evaluate what you drink. There are two kinds of foods — acid and alkaline. Your body was designed to function in an alkaline state, which requires alkaline foods — mostly fruits and vegetables. Eating too much of the acid foods makes your body acid, causing acute physical stress.
Your body is mostly water and needs water as its primary liquid. Since your body was designed to regulate itself internally, drinking external stimulants puts added stress on your body and interferes with the regulation of blood sugar.
3. Evaluate how you exercise.
Your body needs exercise that increases your heart rate, promotes muscle activity and aids neurological integration, so your body works as it was designed. Excellent exercises that achieve all three are swimming or walking correctly.
4. Evaluate how you rest.
Adequate, uninterrupted sleep each night is essential for cell repair. If you eat large meals too close to bedtime or drink the wrong liquids throughout the day, you over-stimulate your body. This makes uninterrupted, restful, repairing sleep difficult.
5. Evaluate how and what you breathe.
How — correct breathing is important because it activates the diaphragm in a manner in which it was designed, which augments heart action. Correct breathing helps rebalance the autonomic nervous system.
What — if you can smell the air you breathe, it's stressful. While the toxins in your food and liquids are cleaned by the liver before entering the bloodstream, the toxins you breathe — from smoking or living/working in a smoke/smog–filled environment, go directly into your bloodstream.
6. Evaluate what you think about.
What you think about affects your body. Think about a lemon and your mouth fills with saliva. If you are angry or in fear, your body is as uptight as if you were fighting a tiger. If you worry, your nervous system triggers more acid in your stomach even if you have nothing in your stomach — producing indigestion and ulcers. And most of these physically harmful feelings come from replaying the past
