"All men by nature desire knowledge." Aristotle
Being intellectually healthy is health wisdom. Cultivate your intellect to begin healthy living for a healthy lifestyle. Knowledge is empowering for the following reasons:
| ˇ |
It gives you more options in your healthy lifestyle.
|
| ˇ |
It enables you to make your own health decisions based on your own needs.
|
| ˇ |
It helps you set your health goals -- nobody can do that for you.
|
| ˇ |
It facilitates you to overcome hurdles in your pursuit for healthy living and a healthy lifestyle. |
Why do you need knowledge and be knowledgeable in order to stay healthy in this information age?
The reason is simple: there is too much information, and you need to know the truths from the myths. In short, you need health wisdom because health is your greatest treasure in life. You simply need to know the truth, and nothing but the truth, just as Jesus said: "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
The myths and the half-truths are often spun by the following:
| ˇ |
The pharmaceutical companies: To illustrate, new drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, come out everyday, with their touted potency and alleged safety. However, there have been many cases of data fabrication in clinical trials of drugs in order to facilitate their approval by the FDA. Are these new drugs, which have not been tested on a larger population, really efficacious and safe?
|
| ˇ |
The medical profession: To illustrate, cancer is a multi-billion dollar industry involving the medical profession. Are all procedures and therapies pertaining to cancer treatment absolutely necessary, or in the best interest of the patients?
|
| ˇ |
The food industry: To illustrate, milk has been aggressively promoted by the billion-dollar dairy industry with images of celebrities with their famous "milk moustache." But with its antibiotics, genetically-engineered hormones, as well as the forced feeding plans and specialized breeding of cows, is milk really a nutritious drink?
|
| ˇ |
The scientific research: To illustrate, some research studies are funded by food companies and the pharmaceutical industry. There have been cases of researchers being "influenced" through coercion, incentive, and even threat, to produce the desired research findings. |
If you are not knowledgeable, how can you separate the sheep from the goat? With health wisdom, you may be able to discern the truths from the half-truths or myths.
Health wisdom demands you not only to read food labets but also to read between the lines.
For example, "made with whole grains" does not tell how much whole grains in the food -- it could be very little; "made from" only suggests the original source of the food, but offers no guarantee that it has not been diluted or adulterated with other artificial ingredients afterwards; "pure" tells little about what is or what is not pure in the food -- the word has no regulatory meaning, only another advertising hype; "enriched" means something good has been replaced by something not so good.
Health wisdom demands you not to readily reach out for a pharmaceutical drug, whiether it is prescribed or over-the-counter, for any physical ailment. Are there natural remedies?
Health wisdom demands you keep an open mind about procedures and therapies recommended by your doctors. Don't go for the media hype "ask your doctor" and "talk to your doctor." Nobody knows your health better than yourself -- not even your doctors!

Health wisdom demands you make a decision on the basis of what you know and what you believe to be the best course of action for you to live a healthy lifestyle.
It must be remembered that strategies that can cure today may not hold water tomorrow. Only the laws of nature remain forever constant. The laws of nature mandate that every life choice has its consequence. It is impossible to make a choice without setting in motion a series of consequence or reactions, That is why you need to empower yourself with health wisdom in order to make the right decisions in matters of health.
If you need to change your lifestyle, then you must change. Albert Einstein once said: "Insanity is keep on doing the same thing and yet expectating a different result." Likewise, health wisdom is intellectual capability to assimilate new things to change for the better. Health wisdom is the desire to acquire new knowledge in order to change actions that will produce positive resutls in one's health. Knowledge is empowering. One needs to know in order to perceive one's inadequacy and therefore bring about meaningful changes in one's life.
