The Holidays are upon us so naturally I tuned-in to our local Christmas music station, 93.9, to help myself get into the spirit of the season. I normally do not listen to broadcast radio, so something immediately caught my attention. During the commercial breaks I couldn't help but notice the large number of pharmaceutical ads being played on loop. At this point, I already almost have the entire Pepto Bismol jingle memorized!
As someone who has been fortunate enough to not used pharmaceuticals for decades, this was shocking to me, and it was a good reminder as to the state of health in the community. Most of the commercials were for conditions that could largely be eliminated with some simple lifestyle modifications.
This is a good reminder that every meal is an opportunity to make yourself healthier or sicker depending on what you choose to eat. Focus on healthy whole foods and eat out less.
Limit late night screen time and go to bed on time to get plenty of sleep. The blue light emitted from screens can disrupt your circadian rhythms.
Adopt a fun and healthy exercise routine. The exercise that you like is the one that you will do. Try something new.
Stop watching the news! Most of it is fake and designed to get you wound up and upset about something. Instead, take the time and read a stimulating book, perhaps one of the classics that you have always wanted to get into.
Each morning and night, sit in silent prayer and just observe, WITHOUT judgement, what you are dwelling on. You may be surprised what you see!
Get your neuro-spinal system regularly checked by a chiropractor. Good chiropractic care helps your nervous system release patterns of reactivity that tend to accumulate from the stresses and strains of everyday life. This keeps your body in a state of healing and developmental growth. You owe this to yourself, because, as they say, "It's a jungle out there..."
Good health is likely closer than you think. Do you really want to contribute to the bottom line of the pharmaceutical industrial complex? Make a pharmaceutical executive or shareholder upset today by getting yourself healthy.
Season's Greetings!
