In order to maintain good health as we age, it is important to implement habits and practices that support not just a long lifespan, but also a long "healthspan". This means feeling and functioning at our best throughout our life, regardless of how long it is.
Unfortunately, as this interview points out, "most of us know more about our cars or iPhones than we do about our bodies." One of the greatest downfalls of that is that many people don’t trust our bodies’ natural ability to heal. We tend to give into the misconception that we need to go to the doctor for every little thing and we often put off healing until it becomes too big to handle.
The truth is that we don’t need to go to the doctor for every little thing. In fact, many common health problems can be treated at home with simple treatments - or avoided altogether simply by making healthier choices. And, by listening to and healing our bodies, we can not only feel better, but we can also reduce our risk of developing more serious health problems in the future.
Most people don’t realize that health isn’t created by our doctors — we are the ones in control. Our bodies actually come fully equipped with some pretty amazing healing mechanisms which include the ability to repair, regenerate, renew, and fight infection! They just need us to give them the right inputs to work optimally.
