CHOOSING PEAK HEALTH
What
is health? Health is not merely the absence of illness. True health
involves painless sound bodily movements, efficiently working vital
organs and mental faculties operating at full throttle. This is rarely
experienced by humans today. The people I meet could be divided into
three levels:
- Level One - People who are almost sick and the definitely sick
- Level Two - People who think they are healthy.
- Level Three - People who are experiencing a high level of health.
Most find themselves in one of the first two categories. Rising to the
third level requires seeking knowledge, personally taking charge of your
own health and making wise choices. Good health cannot be produced by
unhealthy living practices. One thing is for sure, we cannot drug
ourselves into health. If this were so, we would be a healthy nation by
now.
Level One - SICKNESS AND IMBALANCE: A lot of people in our modern society
find themselves here. The health care systems in most western
industrialized nations are bulging at the seams. Many of the killers of
today are referred to as "lifestyle related" - that is they are
affected by our eating, drinking and exercise habits.
Most of us already know what is bad for our health and what kinds of
things degenerate our body. Things like sugar, salt, chocolate, regular
tea and coffee, preservatives, smoking, processed foods, chemicals and
fertilizers, bad water, bad air and stress. All of us, no matter how
carefully we try to eat, just can't avoid all of these things.
Level Two - MAINTENANCE: Once people decide that they want to be more
healthy, they start buying more fresh fruits and vegetables from the
grocery store and they exercise a bit more. They may try vitamins or
medicinal herbs. They may get some benefits, but they can easily fall
back into sickness, because they are working on a maintenance level. They
never actually start rebuilding their body - just maintaining it better
than before.
At the maintenance level, lots of fruits and vegetables improve the diet.
However, due to poor soil quality and corporate concern for profit rather
than nutrition, grocery produce rarely provides all the necessary
nutrients. People also don't eat enough variety or quantity of these or
in the right combinations. It's just not enough.
Level Three - PEAK HEALTH: We create an environment in which the body can
rebuilt itself to optimum functioning, which is already programmed into
our genes. By providing the balance and raw materials our body needs, it
begins to renew or regenerate, and actually become younger. This can take
us beyond both sickness and
maintenance. To create this regenerative environment, we must give our
bodies the highest quality food possible and in just the right amounts
and combinations.
WHEN GIVEN THESE OPTIONS, WHO IS GOING TO CHOOSE MAINTEANCE?
The only company in the world which deals exclusively with this high
level of regenerative foods is Sunrider International. Other companies
might have one good product in one hundred, but every single formula by Dr.
Chen has this purpose in mind. To provide just the right nutrition in the
right combinations you really have to know herbs and you really have to
understand the body. The body is incredibly complicated and no one food
or herb is perfect in itself - they must be balanced with other foods or
herbs to make them work properly.
The Chinese have studied foods for thousand of year and they have
developed a system of principles by which you can tell which herbs go
together and which ones are balancing on very important levels. Dr. Chen
is a genius in the field of nutrition, foods and herbs.
These principles come from a health system that was creating healthy
people and healthy societies thousands of years before western societies
even began to study "modern" nutrition.
You can verify these principles yourself simply by incorporating Sunrider
into your lifestyle!
