Self Care for overall Wellbeing.Being responsible for out own health.
I've been ill for several years.I've been through experiences that helped me to improve my health.I spent the money and I know what helps and what doesnt.I'm going to share with you things that you can do to promote a healthier you.As we get older out stressors and lifestyles catch up with us.We start to gradually decline as we age.There are simple things you can do to get better to improve.Some things are free,other things you need to pay for.I'm sharing my experiences hoping that you can benefit from what I've learnt.
1)Get it diagnosed.Got a problem? Get it diagnosed.Find out what it is and what its name is.Everything has a name.Go home and research it.Join internet forums and groups catering for it.Be around other people who've got it too.You wont be on your own.Its a good move.Learn all about it.Others will be researching it too.
2)The 2nd thing to do no matter what is to deal with the body to heal.A chiropractic treatment will do the trick.Thats your starting point.You eliminate that factor.Get all your bones put back into place and its a great start to healing.The body works much better.Have it done a few times a year if you can.If you have xrays too taken them with you.If a chiro does muscle testing as part of their treatment its a bonus.Some chiros were trained overseas.They learnt techniques that the basic chiro didnt learn.
3)Kinesiologist.Pronounced Kinn-easy oll-oh-gist.Acupressure points are tested to determine where the weaknesses are in the body then they active those points.The more a Kinesiologist does during a treatment the better.If they expect you to do things during a treatment you got the wrong one.Shop around.
4)Lymphatic drainage.Another way to detox.Its a simple massage by massage therapists and Kinesiologists.It pushes toxins out the body.Very good for improving the human body.
5)Neuro Emotional Technique.Or NET for short.Get rid of emotional issues,start with the worst ones first.You get more bang for your buck.We've all had emotional issues in our lives,no one is immune from that.Traumatic experiemces can change us so we need to deal with that.The more emotional experiences you get rid of the better.Its a form of Kinesiology/muscle testing so it offers great healing power.I've got rid of most of mine and its worth every cent.You should be able to claim through private health cover too.
6)Pressure points.These are essential.If you run certain pressure points you get the healing affect on the body.Its very healthy.There are books you can buy/borrow and there are websites that show a list of a variety of symptoms.You then click on a symptom that you can relate to.That will show you a diagram of the human body and the various pressure points.You rub/massage those points.Do this twice a day and you will feel better you will also make some noticeable progress.Here are 2 books I bought:
a)Healing with pressure point thereapy.By Jack Forem.(it has a longer subtitle.)
2)Acupressure for emotional healing.By Michael Reed.
7)Cut out/cut back on salt.Salt/sodium is in most foods.You dont need to buy salt.You dont need to add salt.You get use to it and its much better if you cut back on it.If you eat bacon you can put hop tap water in a saucepan drop the bacon in it for 2 minutes.The water will go cloudy.Thats salt,etc.You drain the water and cook the bacon.Much better for you.
8)Cut back.cut out sugar.Yes,its another way to clean out the body.Its very healthy.I cut out sugar in 2006.Fresh fruit,fresh and frozen vegetables,fresh meats,etc are good.There's even a book on it:
"Sugar Shock! By Connie Bennett.Published around 2007.It might have been updated since then.
9)Cut back/cut out caffeine.With an anxiety disorder caffeine does affect disorder.You can either cut back to a decaf subsitute or eliminate it.Your choice.
10)Weight issues.This is a problem for some people.Being overweight to any degree is a problem.It needs to be dealt with the right way.There is an author by the name of Paul McKena who knows how to deal with weight issues the right way.He wrote a book on it and he did a 5 part tv series.You can download the tv series and you can buy/borrow a copy of his book:
a)I can make you thin.By Paul McKenna.
Those are some of the things you can do.They work for me.I spent a lot of money.I went to pain management,hypnotherapy,naturopaths,etc.Some things work,some dont.These suggestions will save you money.
