So in the interest of better health and happy dispositions, I am writing these things, so you can\u00a0be aware of\u00a0them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Fear, conflict and un-forgiveness show up in cancer. Bitterness and anger show up in the liver or gallbladder. Worry and anxiety shows up in allergies, digestive and gut disorders. Hate and resentment show up in arthritis and inflammation. Negativity shows up in poor quality health. Each one of these can lead to a host of different maladies and mental disorders \u2013 yes, they create chemical imbalances, along with a poor diet. Stress, allowed to go by unmanaged is the biggest, most common threat to most people\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>So we need to work with our attitudes, quality of our thoughts\u2026\u2026\u2026.managing our diet and stress levels to gain or maintain good health.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-pale-pink-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Most people don\u2019t avail themselves of enough sleep and exercise. Sunshine and fresh-air. Affording yourself more of these can improve your health significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\">Don\u2019t underestimate the benefits from our Creator and Nature\n\u2013 the most overlooked promoter of good physical and mental health in this\nrushed and busy generation. On a regular basis, you need to foster a special\nenvironment \u2013 some nature spot \u2013 to nourish your mind and emotions, bring fresh\nair into your body and lift your temperament. We all need this visual reminder\nof our Creator on a regular basis that will strengthen our spirit against so\nmuch exposure to stressful times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Just something like bearing grudges often enough sets off stress signals in our bodies, that in time have to affect our health somehow, either physically or mentally. <strong><em>So try to practice kindness to yourself and the other person and let this pay dividends to your health.<\/em><\/strong> Most times, grudges come about by perceiving things wrongly, letting our imagination work overtime, misinterpreting the other person or failing to make allowances.

We need to work at communications in those situations \u2013 especially with family members because they are permanent. And some of us would do well to choose our friends better and make\u00a0a few amendments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Also, some of us do ourselves no favors with self-imposed obligations like \u201cthis person really needs me\u201d\u2026\u2026or\u2026\u2026\u201dwhat would they do without me?\u201d\u2026\u2026or\u2026\u2026\u201dI can\u2019t say this or that to them, they would be very upset\u201d.

Not only does stress cause disease, but the disease itself also causes significant stress in these patients, creating a vicious cycle. It is presumed that the stress-triggered neuroendocrine hormones lead to immune dysregulation, which ultimately management and behavioral intervention to prevent stress-related immune imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18190880\">http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18190880<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Auto-Immune Conditions: Simple Steps for Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">By Dr Deborah Caldwell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s important to address the mental, emotional, and\nspiritual components of your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It is best to seek the services of a Natural Practitioner who covers more than an MD\/GP does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The people in your life have the best intentions when\noffering advice but until you thoroughly understand how YOUR body works, it\u2019ll\nbe difficult to find the ideal treatment approach that could change YOUR life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The types of food, exercise, supplements and lifestyle\nchoices you need are unique. Part of this discovery will be on a\ntrial-and-error basis. But your needs will become clear as you work closely\nwith your health care provider over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Move Your Body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\">Moving your body is an essential component of treating any\nchronic health issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\">It increases blood flow to the tissues, allowing for more\ntoxins to be released, and brings essential nutrients to the organs that need\nit most. It increases energy, helps balance hormones and your mood, and it\nhelps people sleep better. And it\u2019s a great stress reliever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\">Some of the best forms of exercise are nourishing and gentle\nsuch as: walking, stretching, swimming or even pulling weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Strive To Reduce Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(GOOD ADVICE TO ALL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Life-long, chronic stress has a profoundly negative impact\non autoimmune disease because it significantly reduces your body\u2019s ability to\nheal itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>When you\u2019re in a constant state of \u201cfight or flight\u201d you cannot detoxify, heal, metabolize properly, or utilize your immune systems to full capacity.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Many of us are under so much constant daily stress that we hardly recognize it anymore. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And, sometimes, the chronic stress is unrecognizable and may be subconscious (such as negative thoughts, unresolved emotional traumas or toxicity found in our workplaces, community, and relationships).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Deep breathing, meditation, journaling, prayer, practicing\ngratitude, playing outside and sharing good conversation with friends are all\ngreat ways to reduce stress in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Learning to love ourselves can be one of the most\nchallenging components of health. But working to create emotional peace, and\npracticing self-compassion and self-love is powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">According to Louise Hay, an expert for the connection between illness and emotion, many people with autoimmune disorders have, deep within their bodies, some kind of destructive message that needs to be revealed and transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In my judgement, this destructive message correlates very\ndeeply to your condition. Autoimmune conditions are essentially your physical\nbody betraying you (by attacking you). Part of the underlying emotional healing\nthat needs to take place is releasing your own self-betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> <strong>Deborah\u2019s Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Many people with autoimmune conditions are relieved to know\nthat they have a tremendous amount of power when it comes to their health.\nThere are many options, in addition to or instead of, a prescription medication\nregimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It\u2019s often the overlooked, unconventional things that can turn the tides toward healing in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Every woman deserves to feel fully alive and at peace in her\nbody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Your physical challenges are often great gifts which, when\nopened, provide the opportunity for tremendous personal and spiritual growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Many blessings to you as you continue on your journey to renewed health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Closing Words<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Many Christians have stressful lifestyles like the world and stressful relationships. Left unchecked, they can lead to health conditions for which many seek healing. Sometimes when we have that healing, the same thing can occur again which means something\u2019s wrong \u2013 <strong><em>we are allowing poor nutrition, stressful lifestyles or toxic thoughts and emotions to persist and remain unchanged.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I trust that the insights and information above proves to help many in their quest for better health. We do play a part \u2013 you know the saying about \u201cGod meeting us half way\u201d have you heard that before? This is good advice to many. Why would The Lord give us \u201cInstant Healing\u201d if He can see we need to take some responsibility for our health? In recent years, The Lord is speaking to many Christians in these areas. Many are looking after their nutritional needs and exercising (walking is good). <strong><em>Sleeping should be looked at too.<\/em><\/strong> Many are developing healthier thought patterns and making wiser choices in friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> Some food for thought.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has now been discovered that the way we think and feel much of the time, can and does impact our health for good and not so good.
