What should be normal is plenty of energy all day long and a vibrant level of health that allows you to not get sick, or if you do, to heal relatively quickly. What is normal are people with low energy, stressed out, missing sleep, getting sick all the time or perhaps developing chronic diseases. According to the World Health Organization the United States does not have the best outcomes when it comes to health despite spending the most money on health. Although the US contains only 5% of the global population, it consumes over 50% of the global drugs. This is not healthcare or even healthy; it is simply a way to try to force the body to operate normally despite poor health. True health changes with lifestyle patterns. There are 5 lifestyle patterns that you need to pay close attention to: 1. Diet 2. Exercise 3. Lowering stress levels 4. Amount of rest 5. Removing interference Some say that in the range of 80%-90% of disease is related to one of these 5 factors. 80 % -90 %
Most everyone has heard of all of these and is trying to improve them. The one that people don’t understand is #5. This is the one that will hold you back if you are trying all of the other things and not getting results. Our natural state is health; our body wants to get there. If you are doing everything right you should get there unless there is some kind of interference that is preventing it. Such as an imbalance or misalignment in your body.

1. Clean up clutter. The easiest method for preventing falls is to keep your home neat and tidy. Remove all clutter, such as stacks of old newspapers and magazines, especially from hallways and staircases. 2. Repair or remove tripping hazards. Sometimes home fixtures can contribute to falls, which can then lead to back pain and other injuries. Examine every room and hallway, looking for items such as loose carpet, slippery throw rugs, or wood floorboards that stick up. Then repair, remove, or replace those items for more effective fall prevention. 3. Install grab bars and handrails. These safety devices are crucial for going up and down stairs, getting on and off the toylet, and stepping in and out of the bathtub without injuring yourself. Install grab bars by toilets and bathtubs and handrails in stairways and hallways. Have a handyman or family member help with this if necessary. This doesn’t have to involve a complete house remodel. You can make your home safe from falls with just a few basic changes. Senior care experts offer the following advice for preventing falls at home: 9 WAYS TO PREVENT FALLS AT HOME Print sudoku http://1sudoku.com 3 8 1 3 7 5 4 7 9 2 5 9 1 6 2 4 4 3 3 7 2 7 2 4 3 2 1 6 http://1sudoku.com n° 310547 - Level Hard 4. Avoid wearing loose clothing. You want to feel comfortable at home, but baggy clothes can sometimes make you more likely to fall. Opt for better-fitting and properly hemmed clothing that doesn’t bunch up or drag on the ground. 5. Light it right. Inadequate lighting is another major hazard. To create a home that’s more suitable for the elderly, install brighter light bulbs where needed, particularly in stairways and narrow hallways. Add night- lights in bedrooms and bathrooms for better guidance at night. 6. Wear shoes. Socks may be comfortable, but they present a slipping risk. Preventing falls at home can be as simple as wearing shoes. You can also purchase non-slip socks that have grips on the soles of the feet if shoes are too uncomfortable. 7. Make it nonslip. Bathtubs and showers, as well as floors in kitchens, bathrooms, and porches, can become extremely dangerous when wet. To prevent falls on slick surfaces, use nonslip mats. 8. Live on one level. Even with precautions like guardrails, stairs can present a significant falling hazard. “If possible, live on one level,” says Kaplan. “Otherwise be extra- careful when you negotiate stairs.” If it’s not possible to live on one level, try to limit the trips you take up and down the stairs. 9. Move more carefully. Many people fall at home by moving too quickly from a sitting to a standing position and vice versa. Pause after going from lying down to sitting and from sitting to standing. Also take a pause before using the railing on stairs, whether going up or down.
