Optimal Body and Mind

The human body can be compared to a rainforest. As with an ecosystem such as a rainforest, the living human body is a web of many different kinds of life. We are composed of many types of cells and organs. Each ideally contributes to the energy needed to function from the time we rise each morning until we go to sleep. These same cells continue to function as we sleep each night.

We all desire to be in good health. And who can say they enjoy being sick? Becoming unwell can cost us in missed work and the enjoyment of life.

Many people are under the assumption that to be healthy requires something very hard or impossible to attain. Good genetics, untasty fad diets, or a huge will-power and spending lots of time in the gym.

We intuitively know that to be healthy should not be that complicated. And the lifestyle that produces health is truly simple.

We must start out by recognizing our limitations. For by seeing where we are weak, we will know where we are strong. None of us can be continually awake without sleeping. None of us can live without food.

When we wake in the morning with the first lights of the morning sun streaming through our window and prepare the day with a hearty breakfast, we know we are giving our body the fuel it will need for the day.

So why do some have seemingly boundless energy and hardly get sick, while others are often tired or sick? And why do some develop diseases?

The simple answer is that the bodies of healthy people are like a thriving rainforest with each plant and animal contributing to a lush, rich environment that is full of life. They are like a well-tuned instrument - following the natural rhythms and harmonies of their environment.

Unhealthy bodies continually struggle against themselves. Imagine the war-torn fiery rubble of Baghdad - and this is like a body that is wearing our rather than regenerating.

If you want to get on the path of regenerating and healing your body and mind, you  need to feed it the best you know how. You need be mindful that you support the body's natural cycles. The body can contend with many kinds of harmful lifestyle choices but going against the healthy life cycles will eventually catch up to you. Cheers to Optimization!
