Inhaltsangabe

Inherent in human nature is a universal desire to be healthy and fit. People everywhere love to talk it up, professing they want to lose weight and get “in shape.” That sounds impressive except for one problem; the greater majority don’t actually do anything about it. High pressures of life get in the way; work, family obligations, financial hardship, mental stress, depression, addictions and more.

In her all-encompassing guidebook, Nadia Yacoub Cavallini shares an educational roadmap—five building blocks and fundamental principles that teach us how to honor our body, nurture well-being, and embrace healthy habits. Cavallini dissects diet myths, examines health education reform, and encourages you to proactively take control of your health, ultimately creating a balanced, happier life. The Proactive Health Solution is a comprehensive, practical resource that empowers you to:

• Set priorities to enrich the quality of your lifestyle

• Build a foundation of healthy habits for yourself and your family

• Maintain motivation to reach your fitness goals

• Eat right and enjoy exercise to achieve the best results

• Develop a healthy self-image and emotional intelligence

• Renew your inner-spirit and relationship with God

• Discover your optimal health—in mind, body and spirit

CHAPTER 1

A Vision of Hope for Health Care Reform

What is optimal health? There could be a wide range of descriptions, depending upon whom we ask. Biologically, the human body is incredibly fascinating, with its intricate blend of parts and systems. From a medical standpoint, an oncologist would describe it as a body that is cancer-free, whereas a cardiologist would focus primarily on the criteria for a healthy heart. Aside from the substantial physical considerations, however, there are numerous other viewpoints. A psychotherapist is mainly concerned with evaluating and raising a consciousness of mental and emotional wellness, while a preacher is called to help save and bolster mankind's spiritual condition in hopes of promoting greater world peace.

Indeed, optimal health appears to be a conglomeration of unique and numerous sorts. For all practical purposes, however, we can summarize optimal health as a healthy mind, body, and spirit. This fundamental concept shouldn't be grasped only by holistic gurus. If individuals from all walks of life could quickly identify this notion, surely that would mark the path into a revolutionary era. For many people, an adjustment of perception is necessary. Optimal health does in fact, encompass more than the physical body, and to this extent, we're all a work in progress. A new paradigm is underway. It's time for a change, and many strides are yet to be made within the health arena, both individually and collectively.

Faith and Truth

The crusade toward optimal health requires some faith, so the first juncture of this journey begins by gaining a vision of hope. Don't believe that you have to see it to believe it. You have to believe it to see it! Lose the demons of despair and discouragement. Instead, start envisioning and believing that it's possible to transform your body and to receive restoration and healing in every aspect of your health. When you keep a vision that's filled with hope, you'll gain the faith necessary to believe in the best. "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Of course, your faith (or lack thereof) may be a private matter, from both a personal and religious perspective, yet it can have a profound impact on your life and well-being. What we each personally believe could very well be independent of our so-called faith in God per se. While nobody wants to miss the mark, our beliefs and thought processes may or may not be aligned with the truth. Just consider the offbeat, organized faith-based religions that have fallen prey to deception. There have been enough people victimized or brainwashed, all in the name of their fanatical faith. Historically, we can observe the devastating effects of such religious fanaticism. For instance, the Jonestown massacre, led by Jim Jones on November 18, 1978, destroyed 918 lives (276 of whom were children). Before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, this deadly tragedy marked the single largest loss of U.S. civilian life in a non-natural disaster.

On the other hand, some people have no professed faith at all, yet they live by goodwill and bring no harm to others. Certainly, there will always be plenty of differences and extremes regarding matters of faith. Whether you're a religious scholar or a religious skeptic, this is irrelevant; you're still entitled to your own opinion. You're always free to choose what to think and believe. However, good faith that provides hope, healing, and restoration to your mind, body, and spirit can only come from God, the source of all sovereign power and truth. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

So amid the spectrum of human free will and much traditionalism, can we find some common ground? Yes, it is possible, for aside from any particular ideology or lofty religious doctrine, the truth is universal; it is a supreme reality that carries tremendous power. The more enlightened you are by the truth, the more power you'll have to transform your life and health. Knowing the truth can help you release chains of bondage and improve well-being on many levels—mental, spiritual, or physical. For instance, have you ever noticed that when you finally forgive someone who has caused you deep-rooted bitterness, this actually makes you feel better? If you've never done so, you should try it. There is tremendous power in forgiveness. When you release toxic emotions that have been long bottled up, this is for your benefit—it improves your entire health and well-being. Whenever you discover the truth, whatever the truth may be, you'll find freedom in its power. "Then you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

Many people struggle to improve their health because they haven't yet come to terms with the truth. Instead, the self-imposed limitations of fear have kept them stuck in a cycle of doubt and negativity. Going through the motions of a fitness routine doesn't exactly count. Why? It doesn't necessarily lead to a healthy lifestyle transformation. If we truly want to live a healthier lifestyle, inevitably changes will need to take place. Psychological barriers, personal hang-ups, and bad habits need to be broken, yet left to our own devices this may not occur. That's because each of us, in our own human capacity, has limited strength; our tactics and coping mechanisms fail. However, when we approach our desire for change by placing faith in something greater than ourselves, we open a new path for personal transformation. With God, miracles are possible.

Whatever name you use, a higher power is available to help you transform your life and health for the best. "`For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, `plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me, and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you.'" This isn't about being religious. It's about whether you personally choose to seek a higher source of power to help you transform for the better, all the way around—in mind, body, and spirit. When the time is right, you'll just know. The reality is...
