Positive health can be measured in 3 ways:
Performance- how you perform physically and mentally
Absence of ill-health- lack of symptoms and signs of disease
Longevity- healthy life span
Western medicine very seldom teaches us how to be truly healthy. We are going to see our GP's only when we experience the symptoms.
Key to long, happy life is prevention medicine, listening and understanding our body is crucial.
Everybody should understand how our body works. Looking at our body as a machine is an easy way to start learning to apply preventive medicine to your life. Lets look at your brain as a car engine - what do you need to get your car performing well?
Petrol
Oil
Water
Similar applies to your body. We need:
Food
Fats
Water
Sleep
To increase our performance, we also need vitamins, minerals and understanding our genetic make-up. We all have responsibilities to help the NHS, so please take your health in your hands.
Our mission is to educate and empower as many people as possible to live the life you deserve.
