If you have not read the first and second part to this series, click on the links to read Part 1 and Part 2.  By now, you have a generalized knowledge of where we are with healthcare and understand that the model we have set in place is not truly healthcare, but sickcare.

Sickcare is like living life making decisions without thinking. You wait for an event to happen to create a reaction. Even in today’s medical model, some of their wellness concepts including the colonoscopy, the yearly mammogram, and prostate checks do not determine how healthy you are—they only determine if you have an illness or disease present. 

We have to stop giving away our responsibility and start taking action for our health.  I am constantly stating this in almost everything I do: “Have health by choice and not by chance.” We, as a society, gamble our health. In all reality, you have the choice if you want to be healthy or not. This is where true healthcare comes from. 

Let me make a paradigm shift here: There is no such thing as a disease or illness. You might ask yourself, then, what is cancer? What is heart disease? What is diabetes? What is dementia? Alzheimer’s? Arthritis? Degeneration? One common thread of their foundation that allows them to exist: Lack of health. When you have a lack of health, you allow for these ailments in our life to exist.

Let’s use an example on how this works. Where ever you are reading this article, I want to you stop for a moment and look around the room you are in. I want you to see if you can find darkness in your room. Is there darkness that blocks you from seeing something on the other side of the room? The answer is simple: No. How so? Darkness only exists when there is a lack of light. The moment light enters the room, darkness disappears. Darkness cannot exist when there is an existence of light. In this example, you can take light as life or health and darkness as death or illness.

Every day we live, is a day of judgment. When we wake up in the morning, have a cup of coffee, grab a donut and run out to be at work on time, what we have choice for that morning is, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and so forth. When we start to realize that, we know what we eat either moves us closer to life or death. Let me make a point that no matter what happens, eventually, we will move towards death. It is a constant battle that we will face in this lifetime but again, the choice is ours. If we have negative thoughts, gossip about others, isolate ourselves from the world or put others down to make ourselves feel better, we are moving towards disease and illnesses because these actions are negative for the mind.

So, how do we achieve wellness? Here are five easy ways to achieve true healthcare and achieve wellness, be your best and feel absolutely amazing. 

• Proper nutrition
• Proper exercise
• Proper sleep
• Positive mindset/thoughts
• Proper nerve function (Chriopractic care)

Proper nutrition: If you eat healthy foods, you make healthy cells which in result makes a healthy body.

Proper exercise: Exercise helps with the mind, the heart, sugar regulation, stress reduction, circulation, detoxification, lungs, and so much more.

Proper sleep: Sleeping is when our body heals, detoxs and recharges itself.  I highly recommend going to sleep anytime before midnight because from the time 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., each one hour of sleep will equal the quality of sleep of two hours.

Proper mindset: Positive mindset and thoughts lead to positive emotions.  Where we put energy into a thought is where our emotions evolve.

Proper nerve function: How well your nervous system functions is what puts everything into perspective. Chiropractic care is the foundation to wellness and life.  When someone receives a Chiropractic adjustment, it improves the function of every single, cell, tissue, organ, system within the body.
