Like many of us, I have been on a personal journey toward a healthier, more natural
lifestyle for many years.
As I studied, experimented and learned more about wellness and disease prevention from
my own experiences–as well as the teachings and advice of experts–I have been amazed at
our body’s almost miraculous natural healing power.
Despite our numerous unhealthy transgressions–the body has an incredible ability to
heal itself.
It can correct health problems–from illnesses to injury.
It has the ability to recover from a hard day of work and help us get back into shape.
When we cut a finger or get sick, our body’s natural healing process kicks in.
Within a few days we can see cuts healing and symptoms of illness start to dissipate.
Unfortunately, disease usually occurs when the body has been neglected for a long
period of time.
A point has been reached when it simply does not have the ability to heal itself.
Our Natural Healing Process
Healing has been described as “the process of the restoration of health to an unbalanced,
diseased or damaged organism”.
Wondering how this process works?
The human body is made up of cells.
These cells have the ability to regenerate and renew themselves.
As cells become damaged or destroyed, the surrounding cells work to create new cells.
When bleeding occurs in our bodies the blood vessels close to the area contract to slow
bleeding.
A blood clot then forms at the injury site.
White blood cells accumulate here and destroy the dead cells while new cells almost
immediately begin to form.
When this process is stops, healing has been completed.
The healing process happens daily, not just when an injury occurs.
Every day, throughout our body, cells are damaged and die off while new cells are formed
to replace them.
Now that we understand the body’s natural healing process in it’s most simplistic form,
it’s time to take a look at how living aHEALTHY LIFESTYLE contributes to a healthy
body.
Be well...Be Natural!!
Be well...Be Natural!!
