Do You Have Misconceptions About Your Health?
Evaluate Your View of Health
I was doing some reading and research and ran across these "wellness principles" by Dr. M. Ted Morter, Jr. After reading over them, I experienced an overwhelming need to share - as these are principles I personally live by and know to be true. Thus, I would encourage everyone to evaluate their view of health against this list. What misconceptions do you currently live by?
- Not everyone who is sick feels bad.
- Living shouldn't be an exercise in progressive deterioration.
- You don't have to be sick.
- Age is no excuse for disease or aches and pains.
- How well your body functions depends on what you give it to work with.
- Medicines may save your life, but they can't heal.
- Only your body can heal itself.
- You can evaluate your health before symptoms and disease appear.
- If you have to increase the potency or dosage of your medicine to get the same effect you used to, you're treating the symptoms, not the cause.
- Healing is automatic if you give your body a chance.
- The food you ate in the past determine how healthy you will be in the future.
- Too much protein is hazardous to your health.
- You have the ability to improve your health. If you eat more protein daily than the equivalent of one hamburger and two eggs, you're headed for chronic disease.
- Our country's health care system is programmed to treat disease, not to promote health.
- Urine with an ammonia odor is a warning sign that you are sick.
