“How’s your
health,” I ask.
“Good,” you
say, “I feel good.”
“I’m glad you
feel good,” I reply, “but how’s your health?”
Confused? Most
people assume that if they feel good, they are healthy. But is it a reliable
indicator of your health?
Do you know
people who felt good, yet suffered a heart attack? Or a stroke? Or were
diagnosed with cancer? Or osteoporosis? In
too many cases, the first symptom of a serious heart problem is a fatal heart
attack.
Symptoms that
commonly stir people to take action are chronic aches, pains, and low energy. Would
you be surprised to learn that these are the tip of the iceberg? These are warning signs of a body whose systems
haven’t been working right for months or even years.
“Feeling”
symptoms don’t appear until late in the deterioration stages of the body.
The body’s
health is in decline well in advance of the appearance of “feeling” symptoms.
How you feel
is, in fact, a poor and unreliable indicator of your health.
So how’s your
health?
