Common Sense

I attended a "motivational speaker" event recently and enjoyed it very much and one thing she said really stuck with me. She reminded us that what she was telling us wasn't "new" or "ground-breaking" - we all "know" what we have to do because it's common sense. She was just there to remind us and challenge us to actually DO what we know needs to be done.

Over the past several months I've become fascinated with a common sense approach to my own health and the more I learn the more I realize that the key to good health or improved health is NOT rocket science and it's NOT hidden so that millions of dollars in research has to be spent to "uncover" it. I sometimes feel like a biology teacher because most people don't really know HOW their body works. They just take it for granted that it works and, no matter what they do to it or put in it or expose it to, it will continue to work. And, in most cases, it WILL continue to work but not very well. It limps along and we develop various ailments like chronic fatigue, allergies, high blood pressure, lower immunity and, perhaps, eventually a life-threatening disease. We've been bombarded with advertising and a medical community that advises us to "take a pill" to deal with these problems but many, many times that isn't "fixing" the problem, only covering it up and that allows other problems to surface. Besides, have you ever noticed the "side affects" of prescription drugs? Scary stuff.

Optimum health is, and always has been, right in front of us and, I think, we have to be reminded of how to achieve it. I think the growing popularity of holistic and naturopathic practitioners is a result of society waking up from the "prescription-induced" haze it's been in for a generation and realizing that our health has always been our own responsibility.

I've found my passion in learning about how the body responds to proper nutrition and sharing my observations with others. I'm like that motivational speaker - simply reminding people of what we've always really known - that good health is common sense. We all know we should eat better, exercise more, quit smoking, work less and relax more but most of us don't heed that little voice in our heads.

If we nourish our body at the cellular level with the best nutrition we possibly can, it will respond, regenerate, rebuild and heal itself and our quality of life will improve. When we experience good health, everything is better - our attitude, our relationships, our sense of well-being. When we begin to feel better we find that we WANT to exercise more and quit smoking and enjoy life more. We WANT to take care of our body because it responds so well to healthy choices. The human body is an amazing system of balance and what's really amazing is that even when it's out of balance it still keeps functioning but, like a car that hasn't been maintained, it may limp along. Trouble is, we can't trade in our body on a new model when it starts to fail. We can, however, take steps that will halt the damage and, in many cases, even REVERSE the progression of disease.

I have experienced such a reversal myself by consistently taking my ForeverGreen products for the past several months. I had my cardiovascular system tested 6 months ago and was shocked to discover that it was functioning at a 90 year old level. After taking Pulse-8 for six months I was retested and was amazed to find that my cardiovascular health had improved by 30 years! The really great thing is that as I continue to take this product my cardiovascular system will continue to function better and better, potentially getting back to functioning as a 20 year old. Now, if that can be achieved by simply drinking a nutritional supplement twice a day, that makes sense. I think it's a much better scenerio than ending up in the CCU having a stent inserted or having a stroke and possibly dying years before I should.

These products offer the very best in cellular nutrition. They contain specific foods found in nature that have very high anti-oxidant properties but what makes them unique and even more effective is the addition of marine phytoplankton which has healing properties and nutritional value second to nothing else. I'm excited about these products because I've experienced first hand what they can do. Providing my cells with the perfect food they need to do the job they're meant to do; keeping this body of mine functioning at its optimum level even when exposed to less-than-perfect eating habits; less-than-perfect exercise habits, environmental toxins and dangerous additives found in our processed foods – that all makes sense to me. And I'm happy to share THAT good news with anyone.
