Do You Truly Want to be Healthy?

     If you truly want to be healthy, you must first set goals for yourself.  Today I'm going to go over 4 essential things that you must do in order to be healthy.
1).   You must first get over your addictions. 
     Addictions are what keeps us from being healthy.    You don't have to be a drug addict in order to be an  addict, you can be addicted to your own brain chemistry.  Your hypothalamus gland is a chemical producing machine, which produces chemicals for anger, sex  and food cravings just to name a few. One of the worst addictions out there  is soda  pop.    When I go to the store to buy food I see people coming up to registers with cases of soda pop and I often wonder to myself, do they even have a slight idea of what they're doing to themselves? Even if they did have an idea of what they're doing to themselves, would they be able to break their addiction of it?   The other big addiction is sugar in all of its forms.
     The other day we were moving some boxes me and a few other coworkers, and I noticed one of them drinking soda eating cookies and other garbage  and I  said to her " don't you know that's doing horrible damage to body and shortening your life?" her answer to me was; " I don't want to live a long life anyway."  This is such a lie, I mean, if she doesn't want to live a long life anyway, then why not end it now, and what does she consider a long life  40, 50,or 60?  I'm sure she realizes  that her death will not be instantaneous but slowly over time with a lot of misery added to it.
2).   Get enough sleep.  This doesn't seem important but really is, do to the fact that your body heals itself why you sleep, that's also when it puts out the most HGH which is human growth hormone  which turns into IGF-I (insulin like growth factor one)and melatonin, which is  a very high antioxidant.
3).  Get enough exercise.   Keeping our bodies active is very important  to maintaining health. Even  if it's just a brisk walk every day, the  benefits are there.  Keeping our bodies active  helps with circulation  through your lymph glands, veins, arteries and capillaries  and through your cells.  The lack of circulation through the body can cause some major malfunctions  including heart attacks.
4). Eating a healthy balanced diet.   Most people don't know what this consist of, due to the misinformation that is out there.  Our bodies are organic so it is only sensible to put only organic things in our body. Eating healthy is the hardest of all four to do, because, finding non- genetically modified foods (GMO's) that are also organic or free range animals  that eat only  organic or grass fed  diets is hard enough to do. Adding to that, you need to eat foods that are not pre-made precooked pre-done in any shape or form, this means no grains.    Grains are very acidic foods and have been modified over the years and grown in synthetics soils that they've gotten to the point of having no nutritional value whatsoever. when  eating free range meats, don't cut the fat off.  Your body has many uses for cholesterol and fat not to mention that's were fat-soluble vitamins are stored, you cut out the fat, you cut out the vitamins. Taking supplements also can help a great deal, it is a way to make sure you are getting the proper nutrients that may be missing in your diet. Just make sure they come from a health food store instead of a regular store or pharmacy, do to the fact that health food stores carry better quality vitamins. Supplements are not governed by the FDA, so only take vitamins from companies that do quality checks on there supplements.
     Following these 4 steps will help a great deal with having a healthier and happier life.
