SLEEP

Sleep is key to our health and healing. Sleep gives our bodies and minds time to restore and renew, a time to shed toxins through the breath and skin and resolve worries through dreaming. It refreshes us like nothing else. It can be occasionally elusive, almost always comforting, and definitely essential to our survival. And although we spend 33% of our lives asleep, we barely give it a moment’s notice.


MONITORING YOUR HEALTH

Checking your weight, blood cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure is a good indicator to locate where your health is. You will learn how to test these four areas of your body on a regular basis.


FOODS

Good health begins with plants and animals raised in healthy ways; and with meat, eggs, milk products, fish, grain, legumes, fruits and vegetables that are packaged and processed so that the vitamins and minerals in the foods are preserved or enhanced.

You will learn where to purchase and implement the following whole foods into your diet:


VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS

Modern farming methods utilize frequent crop rotations in order to maximize productivity. As a result, however, vital nutrients and especially minerals in the soil are rapidly depleted.

It can be almost impossible to achieve the diverse and vital nutrients that your body requires just in what you eat day to day.

Your body requires certain daily essential fatty acids that it can not create by itself. Unless you are taking the proper amounts of omega 3, EPA/DHA, and omega 6 oils daily your body is in constant need.

You will learn about the proper vitamins and supplements for your own individual needs to help your body function in optimal health. You will also, learn what to look for in a vitamin and supplement for superior quality as well as what to seek for in the companies who manufacturer them.


EXERCISE

Exercise is healthy for your body, soul and spirit. Regular exercise can help you in the following areas:

You will begin to exercise as part of a daily routine.


STRESS

Stress begins in the brain, with a surge of hormones causing intense alertness. In this hyped state, we cannot relax or sleep. But our minds cannot function at this extreme level for prolonged periods: Eventually the hormone surges and exhaustion cause tension headaches, irritability, aggression, inability to concentrate and memory loss. Unchecked stress can also trigger depression, which strikes twice as many women as men. Stress suppresses the hypothalamus, the emotion control center in our brains, curbing the production of the hormones that energize us and make us feel well.

Extreme and constant stress lowers our white blood cell count, making us more susceptible to disease and hampering our body’s ability to heal itself.


ENVIRONMENT

A healthy environment is vital to having optimal health!

Environmental health comprises those aspects of human health, disease, and injury that are determined or influenced by factors in the environment. This includes not only the effects of various chemical, physical, and biological agents, but also the effects on the physical health and social environment, which includes housing, urban development, land-use and transportation, industry, and agriculture.

You will make some lifestyle changes to the environment that you live in so your body can be in optimal health.


SPIRITUAL WALK

The most important stage in your journey to optimal health is to invite your Higher Power into your life to help you through your healing process. Who can better help you then the one who created you? Just as we need food for our physical body we also, need food for our spiritual body.

He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

You will make a decision regarding your spiritual walk so your body can be in optimal health.

At this point you will have just journeyed through three programs towards optimal health. If you have followed the three programs faithfully, when you reach this stage you will feel better physically, mentally, emotionally, educationally and spiritually. When you reach the end of your journey, you will be walking in optimal health!
