Our body is like a fine-tuned engine that needs materials and mechanics to stay in good working order. The foods we eat provide the nutrients that make necessary reactions occur in the body. Too many, or too little of any one nutrient can cause imbalance in our bodies. Physicians and nurses can help us treat illness, but through self-knowledge we can maximize our physical wellness potential. An ounce of prevention is work a pound of cure.
Health is more than effort to cure disease.
It means having the will to take charge of your life by reducing your risk of chronic disease, injury prevention. It is not a substitution for health care, rather it compliments the health care system. Self care means decisions you make and actions you take affect your health. It is the style by which you live.
