Body Balance

For those people who are born relatively healthy we can usually remember the great nights of sleep, the boundless energy and the exuberance of just living. As time marches on our bodies pass through various phases in life.

As we pass through these phases our level of activity compared to when we were children changes. Our eating habits change and we move from having lot's of time for outdoor leisure activities to more sedentary lifestyles. We might put on a little weight, our cholesterol increases and our immune system may decrease in strength.

By not using our bodies, that is, not doing some exercise, our bodies start getting out of balance. Instead of trying to increase our level of physical activity we start relying on medication to try and restore our body's balance. Whether the medication is scientific or natural we're still trying to offset our bad health with a medicine to try and rebalance ourselves.

So then we start putting more strain on our wonderfully engineered bodies. Our body is trying to cope with the increasing blood pressure, cholesterol, tinea, colds, etc and we try our fix our bodies with natural and/or synthetic medicines. Assuming our GPs say it's OK to exercise we should balance our body's road to recovery with exercise and healthy eating. Go for that after dinner walk, it will pay you lifelong dividends.
