Each month we provide a health tip, focusing on information and activities that can enhance your health and longevity. As you read, keep in mind the graph below, that your health is on a continuum, where not being sick does not necessarily mean you have optimum health. We are all on this road of life together, so happy traveling.
It all begins with an idea
August ‘25
i·de·a /īˈdēə/
noun
a thought or suggestion as to a possible course of action.
the aim or purpose.
There is an old-time expression that says “You’ve got to get the notion if you’re going to get to Goshen.’
Goshen is the Biblical reference to a place of blessing, success, safety, or fulfillment, and the saying is basically that your have to want something or make up your mind before you can achieve it or get there.
When it comes to health, most people have not made up their mind to achieve optimal health… they just don’t want to be sick.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” - World Health Organization (WHO)
Health status is actually on a continuum, as illustrated by the graph at the beginning of this page.
