Body, mind and spirit: the three pillars of health

Eternal youth. Lose twenty pounds a month. Improve your memory. Reduce allergy symptoms. Get rid of the slack stomach. Improve sexual desire. Eliminate tired blood. Restore normal bowel function. Buy this product. Take this medicine. Eat this food. How many health-related business appeals can you think of?

Whether it's sports equipment, medical products or nutritional or herbal products, many health commercials have two things in common: they offer "magic bullets" or quickly fix health, while popular products can satisfy purely physical levels. . I can't think of a traditional medical product, and its advertising campaigns provide a comprehensive or multidimensional approach to health challenges. Moreover, although supplemental medicine is multidimensional in nature, pills and potions advance in a similar one-dimensional manner. But deep and lasting changes in deep-rooted health patterns are rarely one-dimensional. And profound changes always require movement beyond the physical level.

All life depends on the balance of elements or power. Day and night. Oxygen and carbon dioxide. Activities and rest. yin and yang. In the event of an imbalance, the system runs asynchronously and its functionality is compromised. Humans cannot be immune to this equation. Think about the power of humanity in the pillars of the triangle. In order for humans to produce radiation health, all three points of the triangle - the spirit, the body and mind must be balanced.

body

Achieving and maintaining good health depends to a large extent on two lifestyle choices: nutrition and exercise. Unless there are functional or organic health restrictions, proper food and exercise will control weight gain and keep our body systems at their best.

Choosing exercise is a personal issue. The best exercise is to increase the pulse rate to more than 120 times per minute, more than 15 minutes, every Friday day. In this aerobics guide, it is not important to choose which exercise plan. A brisk walk will do just that, especially when you carry 2 to 5 pounds of weight per hand, the upper body is exercising as you walk. As long as you are consistent with the exercise mode and avoid compulsive behaviors that hurt, rather than helping your body, you will achieve positive results. Keep the testosterone-saturated dressing room in a "painless, unhelpful" attitude.

Nutrition is more difficult to control due to the influx of misinformation and fashion diets. Everyone is biologically individualized, so eating according to a certain type is not suitable for most people. Based on your physical feedback and some common sense principles, there is no canned diet for you and the diet you develop.

These principles include:

* Avoid fried foods.
* Eat less red meat.
* Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
* Minimize alcohol, sugar, salt and caffeine intake to near zero.
* Know which foods you are sensitive or allergic to and avoid them. The most common allergenic foods are dairy products, wheat, corn, eggs and gluten-containing cereals.
* Drink at least 8 cups of purified water a day.
* Eat as much organic food as possible, filter all bathtubs, drinking water and cooking water.
* Choose a small amount of supplements according to your needs.
* If you have difficulty determining which diet is best for you, find a health practitioner who can help you.
* Finally, when the body does need medical care, look for a non-toxic, holistic approach before choosing a drug.

mind

The basic foundation of psychosomatic medicine is to recognize that for every experience in the mind, our body's physiology and biochemistry will change accordingly. We have a large internal pharmacy that can be obtained through the conscious choices we make in our lives. A key principle of mind and body medicine is that health is more than just no disease. Instead, it is the dynamic integration of our environment, body, mind and spirit.

Physical and mental medicine is seen as a basic method of respecting and improving each person's self-awareness and self-care ability, and emphasizes techniques based on this method.

These techniques include self-awareness, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness, exercise, diet, biofeedback, visual images, self hypnosis and group support. It explores and integrates other cultural healing practices such as acupuncture and acupressure, meditation and yoga, as well as other Western methods including natural therapy, herbal medicine, massage, muscle-skeleton manipulation, overall redesign of energy medicine and prayer. It sees disease as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation, and sees healthcare providers as a catalyst and guide to the process.

The mind and body are not separate. They are in constant and dynamic interaction. Images or psychological programs that exist in your mind can greatly affect your mood [emotion], behavior, and physical state of the body. Because they have a direct chemical impact on your brain, these images will determine whether you feel tired or energetic, energetic or painful, creative or depressed, dynamic or anxious at any given time.

spirit

Spirit is the most important of the levels of existence, but it is the most intangible. Spirit is a cosmic glue that combines all three levels. It is a unified force in nature. People who remain safe in their spiritual lives are less worried and tend to respond to health challenges in a more constructive way.

Doctors working with people who are seriously ill know two things about the role of the spirit in challenging health: the prognosis is much better, when it inevitably occurs, when a person admits that there is a force, the transition from the body Not so terrible and traumatic. It is greater than itself in the universe.

Incorporating the spirit as part of our daily experience is not just following some predetermined rules, meditation in the lotus position for hours or belonging to the church or religion. This means recognizing that there is a deep inner essence that does not pass when the body occurs. It also needs to work hard to live a conscious life when we are able to achieve the highest level of vision. This means a lifetime commitment to consciously pursue growth and change.

Albert Einstein once said that the problems we face are not always resolved at the same level as they are. For me, this means that only by developing new perspectives and growing spiritually can we truly get through the inner transformations that lead to physical and psychological/emotional transformations.

For the purposes of this article, I have introduced three levels. In fact, the levels are intertwined and merged with each other without a clear dividing line. The overall doctor always evaluates the patient based on the "center of gravity". This means that we evaluate the conditions of presentation from an energy and clinical perspective to determine which level has the greatest impact on the disease pattern. Then, we gradually reduce the approach to patients in an attempt to restore balance and assist in the transformation and growth process.
