What's The Real Take Home Message?

There is a lot of information at your fingertips and there is no way you can sift through everything.  The purpose of this blog is to help bring you, the reader, a few prime points from the healthcare world that will not only be interesting, but points that will help you lead a healthier and happier life.

If I could get ONE BIG important message across to you about living a healthier and happier life it would be this....

Achieving true health and happiness is not about tricks or fads, or even some new discovery.  On the contrary, it's about consistently doing the small, correct things over a long period of time.

For example, most people who get back pain think it suddenly started that day. Unless you were in an accident or had some other injury, that is most likely not the case. Back pain usually comes on after long-term micro-traumas.  Micro-traumas are small, often undetectable forces that cause slight injuries.  Over years and years, these micro-traumas add up and "suddenly" your back goes into spasm.

The same is true with many common health problems.  For example, most cases of adult onset diabetes comes from years and years of "micro-trauma" caused by poor nutrition.

The real take home message is that eating right, exercising and reducing stress is one of the most powerful health formulas you will ever discover.

Try to do all the small things right, every day, for the rest of your life and you will be rewarded with a healthier, happier life.  Forget about short cuts and quick fixes!
