Investing In Your Health... You'll Love The Returns

Will Shelton

Description

This book examines current diets to help you make decisions about your eating style as well as taking a look at sleep patterns in association with our overall health. Health and physical education warrant a bigger role in our children's overall health and well-being. One of the chapters is entitled: Games People Play, which focuses on games you played growing up. Will Shelton is deeply concerned that some neighborhoods, including parks are too violent for youth to play in. He presents some innovative ideas that can help curtail violence in neighborhoods. "We need to bring back pride as a core value in some neighborhoods so youth have a vested interest in their respective neighborhoods, by creating jobs, safe parks and recreational centers, better teachers, principals, other school staff, school curriculum, mentorship programs, rites of passage programs, violence prevention programs, better training of police and dramatically stop how guns, drugs and other weapons enter neighborhoods." ~Will Shelton Will Shelton's book Investing in Your Health... You'll Love the Return is an insightful and innovative look at our personal health status and how we can improve it. It examines why we eat the foods we select. It answers the following questions and so much more: What can we specifically do to defeat the #1 Killer of Americans using empirical data? Is healthcare a right or privilege? What are the factors that are affecting our health? What cellular "Master Switch" can be turned on by eating the right kinds of foods to prevent diabetes, obesity, heart disease and other diseases? How do you unlock the subconscious mind to health, wealth and contentment? Why Financial Principles are a requirement for total health happiness? Why is generational health and wealth a vital legacy, in terms of passing the Torch of Health and Wealth to this generation of youth? How does the Glycemic Index help lower sugar intake? How can Stress Busters techniques and activities help with stress? You are a cornucopia of endless treasure. Now is the time to claim your treasure by Investing In Your Health... You'll Love the Returns!

Preface

The genesis of my book, Investing in YourHealth... You'll Love the Returns , came about from an immense desire tofulfill a legacy--a legacy enshrined in the virtue, "We hold these truthsto be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certaininalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This isthe law of the land... a promise that must be realized, as we progress into the21 st Century. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness arevalues related to health. All women are equal to men in this legacy and play avital role.
Another part of this legacy is to pass the proverbial torch ofhealth to youth. This will make health a glorifying tradition. We as adultsmust take our rightful place as Gatekeepers to open the Health Gate to our richtraditional history for our youth.
My goal is to assist people in analyzingtheir health practices. I propose to do this by providing provocative andinsightful health information from researched data. I will provide aDecision-Making Model Framework and a working definition of health for you toanalyze your personal health practices.
I will introduce innovative ways to empower you, regarding yourhealth perspectives. This book will be comprised of eight chapters, as follows:

Why Health?, GamesPeople Play, Eating Traditions, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Fat, Sleep,Let the Healing and Dreams Begin, Tackling Heart Disease The #1 Killer ofAmericans, Healthy Recipes, Passing the Health Torch to this Generation ofYouth.

Remember the journey begins with the first step.
Introduction

As it was since the beginning of time, what'sone of humanity's most prized possessions? Think about it for a moment.Hopefully, you said your health, as one of your prized possessions! Many of thehealth diseases and illnesses (like heart disease, the number one killer ofAmericans) can be prevented and reversed with nutrition and lifestyle changes.For me, one vital aspect of health is being the best you can be. The followingwords from a song called, "Children of the Sun," by a 1970s group calledMandrill, come to mind:

Children (all children of the world) of the sun
Gaze into your minds to catch a fleeting glimpse of time
Realizing yesterday's world
Where Kings and Queens rode the night to mold your tomorrow
Today we are there, shine forth, shine on, shine onnnnnnnn
Going, going, going to be, to be free yeah

This song inspired me then and it inspires me now! I feel youshould be in the best health possible! Be all you can be! I feel a supremehonor and duty to give back to our youth! Our youth deserves the best from us!
This book "Investing in Your Health... You'll Love theReturns" has eight objectives as follows:

› To provideyouth and adults with health information to improve their health lifestyle
› To provide my personal constructive criticism (which builds up) aboutour health status quo, as opposed to destructive criticism (which tears down)
› To analyzethe importance of a health legacy
› Toincorporate Financial Health Principles as a required part of health
› To instill asense of urgency relating to analyzing our health practices
› To providereasons why our school system should consider health a major subject and not aminor subject
› To make youlaugh or put a smile on your face
› To pass theHealth Torch of health to this generation of Youth and Adults
Chapter 1
Why Health?



"It's not where you start— it's where you finish that counts."
Zig Ziglar



Far too many people worldwide are dying fromdiseases and suffering from illnesses that can be prevented in many cases. Ifthese illnesses can't be prevented, they can be reversed to some degree. In anarticle entitled, Top 10 Leading Causes of Death in the U.S. by Hannah Nichols,she lists the Top 10 Causes of Death in the U.S. including: heart disease,cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, accidents (unintentional injuries),stroke (cerebrovascular disease), Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, influenza andpneumonia, kidney disease, and suicide.
Amazingly out of this top list of 10, allcan be prevented with the exception of Alzheimer's and type I diabetes(juvenile-onset which accounts for about 5% of young people diagnosed withdiabetes). Alzheimer's can't be prevented according to medical research. As anoptimist I feel medical research just might not be aware of a cure forAlzheimer's, respectfully.
For instance, Dr. Jonny Bowden's bookentitle
