Natural health in societies

Many elements contribute to our ability to maintain and enjoy natural health. Genetics, food nutrition, and exercise are the key factors, which affect our natural health. Even though we cannot change our genetics, we have complete control over our life style and we should responsibly use this control to better our health and our general well being.

We control our food nutrition because we decide what to eat, when to eat it, and it which quantity. Many times we fall victims of out taste buds as we choose to ingest fried, processed foods because we like their taste more than the taste of fresh vegetables. We would rather eat a brownie sundae for dessert than an apple, and we would rather drink coca cola over water. Our natural health is greatly affected by these decisions.

We have also fallen victims to technological advances in transportation, choosing to ride the subway instead of walking of ridding a bicycle and to take the elevator instead of climbing up the stairs. Our natural health suffers because we don’t perform regular physical activities to strengthen our muscles and oxygenate our lungs.

Change is necessary and urgent if we want to maintain healthy societies. A change our life style isn’t hard to achieve, we just need to start making responsible, educated choices and following them with discipline and courage. Natural health is a privilege which is we must earn.
