The winter months will be here soon. I was one who just waited to get sick and then go to the doctor again, again, and again. Yep! I would end up at the doctor 3 times between September and December. I was one who did not have a wellness plan.
About 5 years ago, after doing some research, I realized I did not have to end up at the doctor and I could actually prepare my body for the winter months. I began to understand how to build my immune system and to stay well. It was at that point that I developed a Wellness Cabinet.
Developing a Wellness Cabinet is not difficult. Simply begin with supplements. Adding Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C supplements is a simple way to begin. Also, add a good antioxidant (mine is pictured above). It will help keep your immune system strong. Drinking water, and staying hydrated will help your body flush out impurities. If you are not feeling well stay home and rest. Fill your body with bone broth, chicken soup and warm herbal tea. Rest is a BIG key to wellness. Do not forget your Diet and what you are putting in your body. Make sure you are getting nutiruents from healthy meats, fruits vegtables and grains.
Over the years my winter wellness cabinet has changed some and my body has gotten better because of it. I no longer go to the doctor 3 times a season and I can enjoy the holidays,and the occasional snow without feeling sluggish and run down.
So...What is in your Wellness Cabinet?
I spent my 20's working, running around with friends, enjoying bible studies, and eating out occasionally. In my 30's I got married, had a baby, gained weight and spent way to much time at McDonalds with the indoor playground. Unfortunately, fast food became a way of life.
That way of life continued into my 40's. I loved being 40. I had a part-time job I enjoyed, became a homeschool mom and ministered with my husband in our local church. Stress became a way of life with such a busy schedule. So by the time I hit my 50's my lifestyle had caught up with me. Suddenly, I was growing older and playing "good health" catch up in many areas of my life. The 50's were not looking good on me and it was not "graceful". I had some health scares that really motivated me to make some changes and become healthier. I was fortunate in my 50's to have
found a company that met many of my needs for a more clean, natural healthy lifestyle. I lost weight, and learned to relax more. I watch what goes in and on my body.
Growing old gracefully does not have to be hard if you start in your 20's, 30's, and 40's Do not wait till a health crisis happens in your life to make changes.Begin now! No matter your age examine your lifestyle. How do you feel physically and emotionally? How often do you eat out? How often do you exercise? These are questions you can ask at any age. Growing old gracefully is more than just beautiful skin. It is also a strong healthy body. Begin today! Ditch the soft drinks for flavored water. Join a health club or the Y. Eat out only on special occasions (you will enjoy it more). Relax and read a book. Sleep more and stress less. Begin to grow old gracfully now...no matter your age.
