Aging With Dignity..what is it?
Aging With Dignity is defined as a state of freedom from bodily or mental disease. It is the positive state of general health that we all strive to achieve. We need it to fight and overcome infection and avoid chronic illness, allowing us to live our lives doing the things we want to do. Aging With Dignity is not just about being either healthy or unhealthy, but about achieving a state of balance between mind and body, with equal intake and expenditure of energy, avoiding degenerative disease and allowing ourselves the best chance of not only survival but of active longevity. What is a
degenerative disease?
A condition that interferes with the function or structure of any tissues or organs is called a degenerative disease. Cancer, diabetes, obesity,and heart disease, are just some examples. A degenerative disease appears over time. It puts a gradual but constant strain on your organs, stripping them of strength, immunity and ability to function effectively. What causes degenerative diseases and why are they so prevalent? In a nutshell, we are responsible for their cause and effect! In recent years our consumption of processed foods, dairy products, sugars and fats has increased dramatically and our consumption of fresh fruit, vegetables and staples has decreased in line with a growing convenience lifestyle. The nutritional value of ingredients consumed in commonly eaten foods today is minimal compared to what your body needs to function. Essential elements for health have been stripped in favour of economical demand, resulting in more chemical enhancers, preservatives, additives and contaminants in your food and drink. Even your water and the air you breathe contain pollutants. On top of this lifestyles have become stressful and frantic, putting greater strain on all body systems. Many people suffer massive energy loss and a resultant deterioration in lifestyle through a reduction in physical activity, turning into weight gain and obesity. Your body is under constant outside pressure and needs to fight to keep functioning on this minimal intake of nutrients. Is it therefore surprising that degenerative and chronic diseases are commonplace and accepted as ‘normal’ rather than as preventable and curable conditions? Our modern diet will make you fat, sap your energy, lower your immune system and make you disease susceptible. In turn this will increase your risk of cancer and brain disease, age you prematurely and literally take away your life.
