Health

I am new to Steemit.

I have many interests: health and nutrition; politics; Survival and prepping: Geo-engineering; self improvement; cryptocurrencies is the latest.

The last several months I have been on about ten week-long health webinars. What I have learned is that the basic diet and lifestyle that protects against cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, weight gain, alzheimers, and all modern conditions of poor health is the same with a few modifications specific to each condition and each individual.

It is diet - the food we eat - organic, and not inorganic. whole foods and not processed foods. mainly raw and not always cooked. It is about the micro-biome, that is gut health. enzymes and minerals. probiotics and prebiotics.

and lifestyle - the way we live our lives. Reduce stress. or handle stress properly. Sleep through the night - about eight hours for most people. Keep moving - exercise, walk, swim. Be responsible for oneself. Be proactive.

Know that health in all areas is paramount: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial. relational, psychological.
It can be viewed or understood as health, conditions, situations, or other perceptions. One can concentrate on losing weight, but needs to address all the other areas of lifestyle to some degree. I believe nothing works in isolation long term, but may work in the short term.

I have met people who have lost around one hundred pounds on several occasions, and gained it all back. They know it might be psychological, but have been unable to address the psychological.

Our health care system in America is a sick care system. It addresses symptoms and masks the symptoms with 'pills'. That is short term management of conditions and not long term cure by finding the root cause of the disease, or really the condition.

Let's take responsibility for ourselves. Get educated. Take action. Everything can be found on the internet these days. Responsible can be describes as able to respond, ability to respond. Only each individual can make the response for that individual.

This is liveright on steemit. I don't have a profile set up as yet. I am a man in my seventies, have lost about 20 pounds in the last two years, on no medications, and on friendly terms with my doctor for the last 20 years. I used to need a chiropractor, but followed his advice on how he instructed some of his patients to 'cure' themselves and not need him anymore. It worked for me.

Being educated and self responsible works. I may not reach my nineties or hundreds still walking several miles a day, living independently at the house, but it seems promising.

Ask questions of me and I will try to respond as best I can. Remember I am not an expert, but there are many really knowledgeable doctors and researchers to follow.
