Personal responsibility (as it pertains to one’s health, weight and overall health) is against the ropes and in danger of a knockout. Like the criminal who insists he is a victim of his difficult childhood, many obese people may die prematurely. Why? Because they don’t want to do what is necessary to stay healthy. They do not want to participate in their own health care.
almighty doctor
Many of these nice people are under the illusion that doctors know everything and can cure anything. The first subject in our study we will call Jim. Jim is 100 pounds overweight and goes into the hospital with a vague feeling of not getting well. He continues to undergo thousands and thousands of dollars in tests, all of which come back negative.
Great, isn’t it?
No. Jim is upset. He is disappointed as no serious illness was found. “Why haven’t you got anything?” He tells the nurse angry. He becomes enraged, blaming the “doctors and nurses” for being incompetent and for not “healing” him. Jim will go to other doctors in search of the elusive disease and cure – without realizing that his success is staring him in the mirror. He holds the key to change. Jim lacks personal responsibility.
Why are they not getting anything?
But the fact that Jim eats all the wrong foods, doesn’t exercise and spends most of his free time glued to a couch with a remote control in hand “doesn’t” cross his mind as problematic. “Why haven’t you got anything?” He was amazed. Whose job is it to keep us healthy and in shape? Is this a doctor? Midwife? Society?
The answer to these questions is obvious but not obvious to many. We are responsible. No one… no one can “fix” us. We must learn to stand in the gap and do it for ourselves. While at first we may receive some kindness and support, man will eventually tire. We will be left with only ourselves. Learn to make the tough choices now, before life makes serious illness a permanent option for you. Yes, taking responsibility is the easier, gentler way. don’t you think
pass the buck
One of the biggest challenges to losing weight is a lack of interest in your own well-being and longevity. The biggest obstacle to weight loss and health is often our own indifference, laziness and indifference.
Agnes just found out she has type II diabetes. She is 60 pounds overweight, smokes, and is fond of fried foods and sweets – washing them down mostly with soda. Panicked by chest pains, she goes and is admitted to the hospital for tests and observation. The nurse sits down with Agnes and tries to explain how diabetes predisposes a person to heart disease and affects the whole body.
Agnes interrupts the nurse to say that she “needs to call the kitchen.” Her husband Sam stands by. He apparently weighs over 100 pounds and also smokes cigarettes. Sam doesn’t hear much of what was being said because he’s too busy eating a cheeseburger with fries and an extra-large milkshake. Sam isn’t just eating – he’s putting food in his mouth almost without breathing. The nurse turns her attention back to Agnes. “Why do you have to call the kitchen?”
“Oh,” Agnes replies. “They forgot to bring chocolate cake with the rest of the dinner.” It became clear to the nurse that Agnes and Sam were too busy eating and watching TV not to listen to her “wandering” about diabetes, cigarettes, and overeating.
But, hoping for the best, the nurse bluntly tells Agnes that she needs to eat better foods to balance her blood sugar, which is dangerously high.
Agnes’ response encapsulates the entire message of this article. She angrily gets up from her meal, and tells the nurse: “Watch my blood sugar? Why should I watch my blood sugar? I thought you guys were controlling it!”
normal for me
Sadly, this type of mindset is more common than one might think. Many diabetics believe they are fine — as long as they take their insulin shots. As long as they haven’t gone into diabetic shock, are going blind or are bedridden and covered in sores – they’re fine. It may sound harsh, but unfortunately it is the reality for some people.
Thousands will continue to die from this terrible stronghold that has taken control of their minds and stomachs. Such is the power of food to hypnotize and control… Hit literally slowly and deliberately.
Fasting, exercising, learning to eat to lose weight? out of the question. We’ve seen many diabetics who say they are “used” to high blood sugar. They are no longer concerned and see it as “normal”. “Your blood sugar is 200!” The nurse tells Rick. “Well, yes,” he says. “It’s high. But don’t worry. It’s normal for me.”
Yes. It’s normal to be 40, 50, 100 pounds overweight.
Then there are many people who are not diabetic (yet), but are still severely overweight and at risk of contracting this deadly disease. Obesity threatens to cut short their lives. could it be you? What is your attitude towards your health and fitness?
What are some belief systems that hold you back from taking action? How important or “not important” is it to you to live to a healthy, slim and mature age? A dear friend of mine, may he rest in peace, refused to lose weight and died on the steps of his home last year suddenly of a massive heart attack. His wife was pregnant with their first son. Such cases are observed with greater frequency.
A 7- to 14-day juice or water fast at least once every two years, as well as shorter fasts every six months, may prevent many premature deaths. Some choose to fast once a week with amazing, life-saving results.
The best thing many of us can do is to stop eating regularly for at least three days and give the digestive system time to regroup, rest, recover, and detoxify. Fasting saves lives. Fasting is a direct, one-way route to better health, dramatic weight loss, and longevity.
fasting torture
But in order to reach this realization, some people must first overcome their apparent blindness to their own responsibility. Take Al, for example. He came to the hospital complaining of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. His digestive system was found to be in serious disarray from years of devastating overeating. Al is 80 pounds overweight and is suffering from hypoglycemia. The doctor puts her on an NPO or “nothing by mouth” diet for 24 hours. In other words, he is put on an involuntary fast.
However, within three hours, Al is ringing the “call” bell at the nurses’ station and is very angry. He wants to know why he is being “tortured”. “Why can’t I eat? Why can’t I eat? They won’t let me eat! For God’s sake, they won’t let me eat!” Al is blind to her plight. All that matters is the food. The reality of his obesity and illness completely escapes him.
your life
Fasting “rests” an organ that is injured or mistreated. Duration. If you sprain your ankle, you don’t go out jogging the same day, right? Well, why is it that we insist on continuing to eat when we are fat and toxic? The harsh reality is that this is not Auntie Mary’s tea party.
Fasting and calorie restriction is a way for your body to reverse the damage of the years. But most people aren’t prepared to go through a little discomfort, even if it represents healing and much-needed weight loss. This person can be ruined. They don’t want to do anything that will take them away from complete comfort and instant gratification, even for a season. Such was the situation before the fall of the Roman Empire.
The equation remains the same today. Get over some discomfort and embrace change. or face the consequences. Be consumed by the sword of your folly. Which of these inseparable and definite harvests do you want to reap?
Remember: this is real life. your life. It is your responsibility to do whatever you can to improve your health, especially (and with added urgency) if you are overweight and toxic. Doctors and hospitals are there to help us and are very valuable, but they certainly shouldn’t be viewed as “cures” for our illness. Medications exist to treat most symptoms. Prevention is the best medicine.
Prevention is in your hands. It empowers you to guide your health towards the most optimal outcome. That’s the way to mature. This is the way of the brave and the wise.
health bank
Fasting and calorie restriction is a way for your body to reverse the damage of the years. Your health is like a bank account. You have to deposit. Fasting, dieting, eating right, exercising… all these disciplines add up to your health account.
One day you may need to make withdrawals from that welfare account. If you haven’t made a deposit… guess what? what will happen to you Nothing will happen in that. A day of tragedy, darkness and gnashing of teeth. The primary point of this article is to be direct and to-the-point with real-life experiences so that you, dear reader, do not go through adverse health consequences. You can accept that you are responsible.
What needs to change in your health? How Much Weight Do You Need to Lose? How long have you been putting it off? What has become more important than your health? Start fasting, start now! You don’t need to be a record-breaker or fast for days and days and days. Fast one day a week. Do fasting even for half a day in a week. Work your way up from there. But do Does it work. And you deserve it!
Message to ponder: Your personal food choices each day and in each situation will determine the quality of your health. Doctors and hospitals are not responsible for your health. you are responsible Fasting can get you there. are you ready
