While many people seem to view getting sick as a part of life because everyone else is getting sick, I don't subscribe to that philosophy and belief system. After all, it is a belief system whether anyone wants to agree with me or not. Our human body is designed to be healthy, but when we throw external factors and stressors against it constantly, can we expect it to be healthy?
Many people feel that doing a few things like eating some warmed up frozen vegetables or maybe a salad here and there is being healthy. Often people think that if they take a walk once a month or visit a fitness center regularly, that this is healthy behavior and all they need to do. While these things are good things to do, they are just one part of the whole when it comes to the health of our body.
Too many in our society believe that they are healthy, when in reality they only do healthy behaviors as the need or time arises. If everyone was truly practicing healthy behaviors, our fitness centers would outnumber the Walgreen stores in our cities and our grocery stores would be selling much different products than they are. If you don't believe me, count up how many fitness centers are in your local community versus how many drug stores there are or take an inventory of how much space the healthy food takes up in a grocery store versus the junk food isles.
At one time, I used to get colds and flu just like everyone else. When everyone was sick around me, I would pick the flu up at some point. While I thought I was healthy, I have found out that I really did not understand what this meant at the time. We can fool ourselves like I did much, but unfortunately in our society, we do not have healthcare. We have sick care!
