Being healthy can be described in many ways. Some people will consider health as the absence of disease. Others may define it by how they feel. Are they strong enough to function well in their work? Do they have enough energy to do what they need to do? Do they have enough physical reserves left to do what they want to do?
My description of being healthy is a little less obvious, although the results will be similar. I know that our bodies are, under ideal conditions, capable of self-healing as they repair and replace themselves at the cellular level. It is now known that our whole body is constantly “under renovation,” and as a result of this inner work, we can actually replace our body every couple of years.
As we know, any renovation in our home will depend very much on the quality of materials being used to replace the old structures. If poor quality materials are being used in our “reno” (probably because they are cheaper), the value of our home may actually be lowered because the replacement material may end up being weaker than the older materials just removed. A successful renovation takes place when the replacement materials are an upgrade to the original. The end result will be a home of greater value, function and appearance.
The cells of our body function in a similar way. We supply the materials as we eat and drink…
