Today we look at numbers 4-7 of health through nutrition.

Improving Health Through Nutrition Part Two: 

life. Regardless of the rate your current health challenge is improving, continued optimum

nutrition just makes good sense, since the greatest benefits may be experienced in your

senior years. While others are painfully shuffling around nursing homes and tending to

medicine schedules, you might be enjoying your summers on the Colorado River and

winters in Hawaii. Is this the benefit you want? Learn what your dietary supplements can

do for you. Then make an educated choice.

5. If you experience a "correcting crisis" while on an optimal nutritional program, stay the

course - its working! When your body begins cleaning out toxins, metabolic wastes,

parasites, candida die-off and the like, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms.

Because you may feel worse before you feel better, it's important to read the articles and

books, which address this phenomenon so you can better understand this process. The

correcting crisis, when understood, is a clear indication that your improved nutrition

program is truly working and leading you to improved health.

6. Licensed health care practitioners still make educated guesses as to how long it might

take to see a specific health improvement using nutrition. Admittedly an imprecise science,

but as a starting point, an holistic medical doctor uses the following formula: For a specific

health improvements, figure three months, then add one additional month for each year

the chronic condition has existed. For example, a chronic condition of 5 years might be

expected to see a good improvement within 8 months, provided the body, mind and spirit

of the patient gets everything it needs. Experience with nutraceuticals largely indicated the

longer the consumption, the greater the benefit.

7. As one very prestigious medical doctor has well stated, dietary supplements ought to

carry the warning: "Not to be taken on an empty spirit". The human mind and spirit are

powerful beyond measure. They can easily override any optimal health plan. They must

therefore be in alignment with the healing process. Sometimes the non-physical causes of

ill health are poorly understood by the individual dealing with it. If long term attempts to

achieve better health bring minimal or no results, there may be deeper reasons that need

exploration. Caroline Myss' works, including Why People Don't Heal, or the works of

Bernie Siegel, M.D. might be a good starting point. Tend to your thinking; nurture your

spirit.

Staying mindful of these seven principles of nutrition and healing will hopefully keep all of

us out of the trap of quick fix thinking and help allow us to create the time and patience to

achieve true healing and enjoy lasting optimal health.
