The Alternative Health Care Model and Health Awareness Mentoring

So what do I mean by an alternative health care model? I mean a health care system where the primary focus is on prevention more so than on treatment of disease. We already have in place a huge health care model that addresses illness and disease. I am suggesting we start participating in a second health care model simultaneously focuses on us getting healthy and staying healthy. I differentiate between disease and the absence of good health as a process or phases of deterioration that the body goes through prior to disease actually showing up in our bodies. Without becoming too involved in that discussion for now let’s focus on a concept that prevention could very well be a wise way to manage our daily lives to better maintain more energy, strength, endurance, stress management and a positive attitude. With those elements in action in our lives we will be less susceptible to the predisposing factors of disease or poor health.

So how can you benefit by participating in an alternative health care model? Good health starts and remains constant with an attitude or disposition. Daily living brings us endless distractions on what we need and want to do in a single day. If thought is not given to what we are going to do in a day to improve or maintain our health, then actually almost with certainty nothing will be done and one more day will have passed by without a program in place to make that objective a reality. Inherently therein lays the heart of the alternative health care model. Think of it is from the inside out as opposed to the outside in. From with it starts with each of us honestly assessing our lives and our lifestyle and taking actions that clearly state we appreciate and honor our health. From the outside side in means we really don’t pay attention to our health until the disease process is already upon us forcing us to take action. Unfortunately and oftentimes it is then too late to regain our health. It’s about paying attention and taking action before a problem arises.

Life to Your Years’ objective is to create an awareness that will evolve into an understanding of the importance of our health in our lives. It’s like anything else of value in our lives that when taken for granted, true appreciation fades, apathy sets in and before long an asset becomes a liability. We start by paying attention to what is, assess the attributes and the deficits and then create a plan of action to get healthy and stay healthy.

Actually it sounds simple and if taken a step at a time it is simple. The challenge becomes to consistently stay on course, committed and consistent. How many times have you embarked on a diet to lose weight, undertaken a weight lifting or jogging routine or a specific nutritional regimen only to discover you ran out of motivation much sooner than you were willing to admit. That’s the reason for Health Awareness Mentoring. Health care and truly taking care of you is not a small task. The truth is you need a team that is working on your behalf to keep your current and focused on what needs to be done and how to prioritize your energy and efforts. It certainly would be very beneficial for you to know the most current and up to date information on what’s happening in the nutritional field, advancements in medical technology, legislative updates that affect your health, changes and updates in exercise physiology, and environmental and sociological issues that affect your health. This is the objective of Life To Your Years and health awareness.
