Everybody is different
Everybody is different. What a magnificent thing! How can there be that many "models" of the human being? When you stop to think about it, it is quite an amazing thing.
We are all members of the species of Human being but there is a rainbow of different colors and more shapes than can be imagined.
That isn't all that is wondrous, there is more.......We all have the same organs (give or take) that do the work that the cells command but every body has a different way of going about it's business.
Something that works for one person will not work in the same way for another person or maybe it will..................I'm sure you can see what a job our physicians have and why they have such "job security". All of this is one of the main reasons that more and more people are turning to a more holistic approach to their own personal care.
A more natural approach to medicine recognizes that every person will have a different reaction to the same treatment. Figuring out illness can be very difficult and out of every thing that I have heard it has never been said to me that it is necessary to be sick. Our bodies are made to fight off many things and most of us have quite a remarkable ability to ward off illness. There are millions of viruses and bacterias of every kind surrounding us each day and yet we suffer relatively small amounts of illness compared to what we are exposed to. Our personal ability to avoid illness is extremely flexible in scope.
Another attribute of a more natural approach to medicine is that we naturally have strong emotional resistance to illness. I have know people who believe that life was meant for living and have decided not to let their bodies "deteriorate" by keeping up good eating and exercise habits and it does seem to help quite a bit.
We recently moved our mother to a senior living community and I have met some of the nicest, wisest people. Selma is 94 years old and does Thai Chi I don't know how many times a week. David was a trucker all of his life, his legs don't work as good as they used to but he can walk short distances, he is 96 and his drivers licence is good for another 4 years. He assures me he is keeping an "eye" on himself and the moment he does "something stupid" he is turning it in.
These are the people that have youth in their heart and that is what has kept them in good shape through their senior years. They have positive emotional health and that is definitely a big part of the puzzle.
The first thing you need to know about your health is that you have a choice. You need to choose good health. You can only be as healthy as you think you can be. You need to shift your perception of what is acceptable and having a disease or getting old and infirm needs to be perceived as unacceptable.
To make our heath better we need a new kind of knowledge. Our concept of life needs to be deeper. I have found that in my learning about Ayurveda (vedic term meaning science of life).
It has really given me some insight and tips that have helped me live a better life. Many things I tried were related to my diet. I found it amazing to learn the healing powers that our food has and was very pleased with some things that I tried that really worked.
I have met Deepak Chopra and recommend his site at: http://www.chopra.com/ for his healing wisdom and insight to the human body and the 5,000 year old medical practice of Ayurveda.

Welcome to Health Pulse
Hello and welcome to Health Pulse.
My Husband and I started publishing a magazine under this name and we thought a blog was in order.
So what is Health Pulse?
Health Pulse is a way to check to see how something is doing. Kind of like the Doctor taking your pulse to find out how healthy you are.

Physically
emotionally

spiritually
environmentally

I have a lifelong passion for fitness, health and nutrition and was in the fitness industry for 25 years. I just "retired" 2 years ago but it took me a year to really get gone. I have taught over 15 different formats with certifications and I also had a general aerobic certification. I have an interest in Ayurvedic medicine and how our environments, emotions, senses and the food we eat affects our health. My husband Gordon and I are into living a healthy, active life and we plan on doing everything we can to maintain that lifestyle. We want to help you to do that as well and we plan on sharing what we have learned with you.
