13 Ways Healthy People Maintain Health
Many people seek total health by studying symptoms, diseases and cures. I discovered an inexpensive, fast and easy way to achieve total health. Before implementing my new direct approach to total health I admit to belonging to the category I now label “Disease Obsession.”
So what happened? One day while I was on the internet immersed in research directed towards self diagnose by reading laundry lists of symptoms, diseases and cures of common diseases and deciding if I had one disease or another I made a simple discovery.
I realized by focusing on the symptoms, diseases and cures and putting a label on my problem I was actually giving myself a post hypnotic suggestion to actually be, feel and accept the disease I was studying.
I immediately asked myself these questions:
- If you are seeking total health, how do you benefit by obsessing about what disease you might or might not have?
- Is this “Disease Obsession” helping you achieve your goal of total health?
- What could you do that would be more useful than studying symptoms, diseases and cures?
And then in a flash the answers came and I knew what to do. I decided to:
- find healthy people
- ask them what they do to maintain health
- and model their behavior
So that’s what I did.
Check out these 13 ways you can model healthy people and achieve total health.
1. Stop studying symptoms, diseases and cures
Healthy people do not study symptoms, diseases and cures they think they have or should have. They immerse themselves in life. What do you enjoy about living? Write it down and pick something from your list to do right Now!
2. Engage your body and mind in practices to continually grow stronger, smarter and wiser.
Healthy people know the way to total health and happiness is to respect and nurture the one and only body/mind system they have been given. They stay actively involved with pleasurable activities that stimulate and improve their body/mind system.
Not only do they engage in a variety of physical activities they enjoy they also challenge themselves by regularly studying and learning new things. Healthy people continually work on themselves. What will you do today to improve your quality of life?
3. Eat a well balanced whole food diet rich in fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.
Healthy people know what to eat and avoid toxic food. Do you want to know what they know?

5. Maintain optimism at all times
Healthy people Smile often. Healthy people are thrilled to be alive. Healthy people are excited to meet the day. What makes you feel alive and loving the moment? Do It Now!
6. Surround yourself with upbeat, competent and forward thinking people
Healthy people know a supportive emotional environment will improve life for everyone. How do you treat those around you and how are you treated by these same people? Healthy people also know that when you live and work with upbeat, competent and forward thinking people, you can relax and trust them to do what is necessary without oversight.
7. Immerse yourself in activities where you have interest and gain deep satisfaction
Healthy people spend a majority of their time in the zone. It’s a mind set that will keep you sharp, alert, joyful, satisfied and fulfilled. Find an activity where you lose all track of time when you are engaged in it.
8. Share your gifts and skills with others
Healthy people give back in the form of gifts, information, education, food or whatever is needed by those around them. How can you help someone near to you?
9. Engage with all age groups
Healthy people know interaction with all age groups enlarges their perspective, makes them smarter, more competent and appreciative of diversity. Practice interacting with someone older or younger than you today.
10. Ask new questions
Healthy people ask questions which expand their potential rather than limit them. Ask yourself these questions:
How can I have more fun?
What can I do to feel even better than I do right now?
11. Get out of your comfort zone
Healthy people know that the only way to grow in new directions is to step into situations where you push yourself into unfamiliar terrain. Staying in the familiar zone will doom you to a mundane life. What challenges you and at the same time piques your interest? Go for it!
12. Let go of regrets, perceived failures and disappointments
Healthy people know that all experiences create valuable resources that you can tap into anytime to improve the quality of your life right now. You made the best choices at the time. Give yourself a break and see the value received from the experiences. What did you learn?
13. Make your own luck
Healthy people know you can only count on yourself. Everything else is gravy. Write down all the great accomplishments of your life big and small. See how much you’ve already accomplished to be here today. Feel the strength that comes from relying on yourself.
So that’s what I learned while interviewing healthy people about maintaining health. Sign up now for my newsletter and receive a free eBook which offers suggestions on how to nurture your body with whole foods.

I have been exploring non invasive techniques to reduce and eliminate chronic severe back pain ever since I was in a car accident on Maui in early 2004. These 7 steps are the best solutions I’ve discovered to address the many causes of debilitating back pain.
Step 1.

Magnesium Deficiency Hidden Cause Of Chronic Diseases
|
||||||
Following my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse I decided to invest in some extra insurance and re-mineralize myself with 2 essential macro nutrients and electrolytes, calcium and magnesium. The first supplement I tested for 3 months is a Calcium Magnesium Citrate and Malate formula.
Pay attention to the last three letters of citrate and malate. This is the single most important distinction to make when choosing what calcium or magnesium supplement to buy. Make sure the supplement contains the mineral form ending in “ate” This will guarantee you the most bioavailable minerals which means you will absorb and utilize them easier than other formulas that contain the mineral form ending in “ide” as an example.
I’m now testing this magnesium supplement because I want to give my body time off from calcium supplementation. I have just recently begun a trial test supplementation program after several years of eating whole foods exclusively.
Magnesium only supplements are rarely [...] Continue Reading…
Omega 3 Long Chain Brain Mood Food

I was looking for a long chain omega 3 fatty acid fish oil supplement that passed stringent 3rd party certification with flying colors for freshness, purity and potency. This supplement has it all and a couple other features that separated it from many omega 3 fish oil supplements.
The first thing I like is that they harvest the oil from smaller fish lower on the food chain such as sardines and anchovies.
The other feature that pulled it ahead of the crowd was that this omega 3 fish oil supplement is in its natural triglyceride form. To concentrate EPA and DHA in fish oil supplements the natural triglyceride molecule is dismantled and the desired fatty acids are concentrated. There are 2 ways to deal with this:
reassemble the triglyceride molecule or
treat the fatty acid mixture with ethyl alcohol to create an ethyl ester molecule. Ethyl ester fatty acids are an unnatural addition to our human diet.
This was extremely difficult information to get from the other companies I [...] Continue Reading…
Omega 3 Fish Oil For Body Mind Emotions
|
||||||
This is the first omega 3 fish oil supplement I decided to test after completing my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse.
I know that the short chain omega 3 fatty acids, ALA, found in plant based foods is slower and less efficient converting ALA to EPA and DHA so I wanted to boost my omega 3 levels since I ate very little cold water omega 3 fish during my self designed comprehensive high raw whole food cleanse.
Two capsules have a total of 400 mg of EPA and DHA. I know this is a lower dosage than used in the clinical tests so my second test of omega 3 fish oil supplements have a combined total of 1100 mg of EPA and DHA in two capsules.
They were easy to digest as long as you ate them with a substantial meal. The company recommends eating them immediately before your 2 largest meals. I found eating them after I ate to be superior in digestibility [...] Continue Reading…

Weslo Inversion Flex System Reduces Chronic Back Pain
|
||||||
This one inexpensive piece of equipment is dramatically reducing my chronic back pain which resulted from head, neck and back injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Maui in 2004. During physical therapy I had a chance to try the inversion table or back swing as we called it on Maui for the first time and was thrilled with the quick and immediate results of eliminating pain during just one session.
As soon as l was upside down the intense pain and pressure from the compression caused by being upright ceased. No more fighting gravity! The gentle stretch which I can easily control myself with minimal hand movements feels soothing to my muscles and allows me to completely and deeply relax the painful tired muscles in spasms relieving all pain. Deeper and more complete relaxation becomes very easy using the inversion table.
Since Maui we’ve traveled and lived in several places and because we were always in temporary situations I didn’t want to haul around an [...] Continue Reading…

This is my conditioner of choice these days because it feels rich and nourishing to my hair and scalp without leaving a greasy or heavy residue that attracts dirt unlike many other conditioners I’ve tried even ones from the same company. This unadvertised benefit means I save money by using less product because I shampoo less frequently. Because this conditioner is so thick and rich right out of the bottle I am able to dilute it with water without sacrificing the moisturizing qualities saving me even more money.
