Is 2009 The Year You Get Healthy?

Is 2009 going to be the year you finally get healthy? Not just pain-free, but actually healthy? What would it take? Is it just too big of a mountain to overcome or is it something you could actually do in the coming months?

Here's what I see that usually makes the person overall pain-free:

1. Healthy movement of their spine (usually because they see a chiropractor)

2. Balanced activities (usually indicated by having good posture)

3. Flexibility (accomplished by regularly doing stretching activities)

To make a real change in your health, you'll have to monitor what kinds of food you eat.

1. Are you taking some kind of multi-vitamin? (Chances are your food is not nearly enough to give you all the nutrients you need)

2. Do you drink a lot of water?

3. Do you eat a lot of vegetables?

Pick one thing, but pick something to work on and improve. Keep at it until it's "just what you do." Then you can add in the next and the next and see your health improve. It's a new year and time to make some changes!
