Positive Thinking and a Vitamin?

The burning energy that stems from the deep recesses of your soul causing you to toss and turn in bed with your eyes wide open. The Innocent excitement as if Christmas eve was near. The heart racing, cold sweat, shaking hand anticipation of what is to come next.

I know how you feel........ Well your wait is over....... The next steps to better health and disease prevention are finally here. I hope you do not think that I am taking your health lightly. It is important to laugh and have fun with serious topics if you don't things just have a tendency of getting worse. Which brings me to my next couple health tips................

3. Good Attitude - a positive out look on life is extremely important in health. I hear this statement all the time and you might have even said it to me "I did not do anything it just came out of the blue, but I have been under an extreme amount of stress.. Could that have done it?" YES!!!!! Decreasing Stress may be the single most important thing to do in order to fight a disease. How do you control your stress? I hear professionals talking about stress reduction and list a hundred different things to lower stress, then you start stressing on which is right for me or am I doing this correctly..... WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE..... I tell my patients that do something you love to do... If it is reading a book, exercising, taking a hot bath, hanging around friends, praying or working in your flowers (As NIKE would say Just Do It). You need 20 minutes to yourself everyday so that you can focus on stress reduction and become healthier.

4. Take a Good Multi-vitamin Multi-mineral - This is also extremely important. There are groups that are suggesting that the soil is more depleted than ever before and the fruits and vegetables no longer have as much nutritional value as they once did. I don't necessarily agree with that thought but there is probably some research that supports that point of view... I am from the camp that no matter how well you think you eat there is always room for improvement or supplementation. If your meals consist of bean sprouts with grilled chicken for breakfast, broccoli for snack, Salad for lunch, and salmon, rice and apple for dinner every night than I am not speaking to you. If you do not eat 5 different servings of veggies and fruit every day with poultry and or fish, than take a Vitamin and please do not take a one a day vitamin from Walmart because your just wasting money and the energy it take to swallow it.
