Maintaining Optimum Health

The Body is an amazing machine, with the

ability to heal. The body heals itself day after day, and when it needs help to do its job it signals for help in the form

of pain. Too often, however, we ignore that signal and push on either by taking pills or ignoring the pain until it

succombs to our mal treatment.

Look at it this way, when any other machine signals that all is not well, for the most part we listen and do some

something to correct the situation. For example, when your oil light comes on in your car

most people within the hour will go and have the problem fixed. On the other hand, if you get pain , your bodies

signal that something is wrong, most people ignore it, or mask it by taking a pill. Once the symptom is masked we

forget about it until it returns. Learn how to listen to your body when it talks to you, Pay attention to your pain and

do something right away to fix the cause of your problem.
