I believe that health is more than just the absence of disease.
Health involves well-being of body, mind and spirit.
It is a state of equilibrium or balance in which our defense mechanisms and immune systems can efficiently handle most of the hazards that life presents, whether they are pathogenic organisms, toxic substances, or stress factors of various kinds. In today's world of high stressed, fast-paced lifestyles, environmental pollution and depleted ozone, degenerative and chronic conditions are rampant. Chronic disease currently accounts for 85 percent of the national health care bill in the U.S., and we are beginning to accept our collective aches, pains and lack of energy as normal. Or maybe you're feeling pretty good most of the time, but you'd like to improve your focus, concentration, or energy level. If so, you're not alone.
